[Simh] [Enhancement Request] Consistency in device information displayed by show command.

The details displayed by the show command for the DSn and MSn devices
are similar.

For example:

    DS0 7575KW, not attached, 7905
        heads unloaded, format disabled, unprotected

    MS0 not attached, 7970E, unlimited capacity
        offline, write ring, SIMH format

    Just for interest, what does the 7575KW in the DS0 indicate?
    And if I do a 'set DS0 7925' it changes to 60MW. What does that
    indicate?
    Is it needed?

The show command for the LP device is quite different.

For example:

    LP  fast timing, printer mode, DEVNO=14, INTMASK=E
        INTPRI=18, SRNO=11, Standard VFU
        not attached, 2617, offline
        expanded output

Is it possible to get the same look-and-feel?
