Re: [Simh] How to access RT11/FIles11 floppy images on Windows?
John, Ok, I installed OSXFuse v3.5.5 and disk11fs 0.8.3 on macOS 10.12.3 successfully but... I tried to mount my RT11 and Files11 disks but they did not work. I was told that it can't mount that disk image. When I select file.dsk, loading icon displayed forever. I clicked 'choose' and MountDisk11.app immediately displayed popup said that can't mount.

John, Ok, I tried to open it by using WinRAR but it did not work. I was able unpack them by using MSYS commands. I now found out that package was already unzipped. I tried to open unzipped tar file and it now worked with WinRAR. Ok, I will go ahead to install them on OS X 10.12 Sierra.

Tim, tu58fs should do: http://retrocmp.com/tools/tu58fs Its a TU58 emulator which saves the "tape" content not only as opaque image file, but also as file set in a host direcotry. There's also a "pack" / "unpack" option to convert directory content into image file and back. Pack/unpack is implemented not only for but TU58, but for many disk devices. Sources here: https://github.com/j-hoppe/tu58fs Precompiled distros & demos here: https://github.com/j-hoppe/tu58fs/releases Its brand-new: I wrote it in Jan/Feb 2017 !

I suppose you could, but why? SIMH builds just fine on a Mac.

Interesting, I’m pretty sure I had it running on Virtual PC on my Mac, probably close to 15 years ago. This reminds me, has anyone made a VMware appliance for either the PDP-11 or VAX using SIMH?

There probably is one. But the easiest thing to do is boot VMS on SimH, use EXCHANGE to access the files, and push them over the network (e.g. ftp) to the platform of your choice.
