You have VAX simulation up and running... As for now, RA92 is the
biggest disk simulated... But, have OVMS in place, you can turn a
bunch of these disks in asingle disk image and/or separate
'partitions' w/o any problems... On a modern PC, SimH is suitable for
building software-based disk extension/expansion (RAID-/0/1/5/10),
with OpenVMS, w/o any problems...
