RK05s now don't work.

Well, let no one tell you that size doesn't matter. <g>

Last night I was thinking about how I went about replacing the foam in my
RK05 drives. The only thing that I changed was the foam. I disconnect no
wires.

So, I thought that maybe platter speed may be effected by air volume. The
foam on the cartridge air inlet was about 3/32" thicker than the old foam.
This difference was enough to reduce the air volume into the disk pack
(there is a little bump on the air inlet that pushes a door open on the
pack). The extra foam I guess did not allow the door to open enough. This
lack of air produces enough drag on the motor spindle to stall the motor.

Mystery solved.
