I have never done that on a 780, but for pdp-11 paper tape diagnostics
(which I have run), it's easy to load the files and just run them.

I also wrote a program to extract xxdp diagnostics from a disk image.
(which allows me to run them in various non-simh simulators)

I guess the issue would be to get images of the diagnostic floppies.
Once you have those I suspect we could find a way to get them into
simh.

Do you have those images?

Anyone know if the diagnostic supervisor runs on the lsi-11 or the 780?
