[Simh] More VAX Simulators

[Zane Healy]

Very exciting!  Especially the InfoServer support, and potentially very timely for what I am planning to do this weekend.  Does the InfoServer simulation support backing up a system disk on a VAX or Alpha to InfoServer tape?  Actually does it even support tape?

Also, I assume I need to use the images found here?

Thanks,
