Since you want the "right" direction, you need to turn right and look at:

http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/922

and

http://simh.trailing-edge.com/

Somewhere in there is documentation on the variable to set during
compile so that it allows the use of large files as disk containers.
(Can't seem to find it right now)


And then, in you .ini file, something like

SET RQ0 rauser=3125408
ATTACH RQ0 /Users/jfmezei/dia0.iso

which defines the size of the disk.
