Ah yes, I did read somewhere that CD-ROM drives were OK - but as for hard drives, I don't think that'd be a great idea...

Interesting, I could swear I connected a CD-ROM drive to it 7+ years ago. Did I mention it's been a long time since I've used SIMH, and I've only used

Actually, from the SIMH FAQ (http://simh.trailing-edge.com/pdf/simh_faq.pdf):

2.9 Can I connect real devices on the host computer to SIMH?
At the moment, Ethernet is the only supported real device.

I don't think it has any support for encryption built in per se, AFAIK.
As for pointing it at a block device on a UNIX system instead of a file, I think that _might_ work. Never tried it though.

Here is a SIMH question, does it support encrypted disk images, or can it
use physical hard drives?

You can always run SIMH of course of another box...
