Sorry, I did oversimplify it, yes.
Essentially, I meant that you should write the data part as a normal
write, and ignore the extra fluff required for the write header. That
ought to make most software happy.
So, skipping extra words intended for the header, adjust size accordingly.

I don't think it's that straightforward. The write header and data
command must include the proper Massbus word count for header and data.
The Unibus side of the RH11 is doing 18b transfers, and so is the disk
side, so the word count ought to be 260 for an RP and 258 for an RM.
If the simulator doesn't "skip" the right number of header words, SALV
is going to fail on its block data check.

I would vote for someone doing just the naive write as a starting point.
I think much software will be happy enough with just that, and then we
can look at specific when we locate software that really do care about
what is written into the headers.
