For the history books:

RM02/RM03 (same drive, different spindle speed)
RP04/RP05 (different mfg. RP05 (Memorex) was a half-density RP06 designed as a
          replacement for ISS-Sperry RP04's. The ones at DEC training
          in RP05/6 class were prototypes labeled RP04-II
RK03 and RK05 did I believe (RK03 being a Diablo drive. RK05 was DEC's
          replacement)
RX01/RX02 of course
