Use SIMH 3.8-1

I can install 4.1BSD just fine, but I seem to be having trouble writing anything to a second RP06:

hp1a: hard error sn16 er1=5<RMR,ILF> er2=0

Am I missing something, or did I run into a SIMH bug?  My /dev entries all look fine.

Here are my notes to run 8th Edition Research Unix on SIMH.

These notes are quite raw and unpolished, but should be
sufficient to get Unix running on SIMH.

Fell free to use, improve and share.
