Hi, Patrick,

Restrictions on numbers of disks are part of the simulated machine's
architecture, not part of SimH.  I can, for example, attach 8 RP06 disks
to the KS10 emulator (all that a real KS10-based system would permit),
or 8 RK06/RK07 and 8 RP/RM drives to an appropriately configured PDP-11.

Which system are you looking at, that has a 4 drive maximum?
