This all looks fine but as you are using an old version of Simh you will
need to add 'set rq1 rx33' to your ini file. The rq1 device will not
automatically adjust to the size of the image like it does in newer
versions. Also the CS device is called RX in the older version.

Didn't try your whole procedure yet, but I confirmed the above in the vax780 binary I compiled from the newest source code:


hvdkamer@obelix-deb9:~/vax$ wget http://www.9track.net/bits/vax/vms040stb.rx3.bz2
hvdkamer@obelix-deb9:~/vax$ bzip2 -dc vms040stb.rx3.bz2 > vms40stb.rx33
hvdkamer@obelix-deb9:~/vax$ cat exp2.ini
; Try RX33 disk image from http://www.9track.net/simh/vax782/
;
set console log=logs/vms44.log
set rq0 ra92
attach rq0 vms44sys.dsk
attach rq1 vms40stb.rx33
attach ts bb-bt05c-be.tap
hvdkamer@obelix-deb9:~/vax$ ./vax780 exp2.ini
