Thanks for the link. Let me ask a follow up question. Supposing I created a byte faithful
representation of a V6 filesystem on my mac, would I then be able to load the file in simh
as an RK05 and mount and access its files and directories from a V6 instance? If I need to
post in the SimH list, let me know.

Is there a good source of information about the
Unix v6 filesystem
http://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V6/usr/man/man5/fs.5
Also, is there a source for the history of the
early Unix filesystems
from v6 onward?
I don't know of one (although there is that article on the 4.2 filesystem),
but would love to hear of one.
I gather that V7 is basically V6 except the block numbers are 32 bits, not 16.
