RE:16 Sector PDP8 RK05f.
They should be doable, since the drive looked like two RK05J's
One at an even address one at an odd address..
However the RK05f could probably be double programmed to double step
through the entire disk or switched to an RK05J with some work.
(Quite a waste of a good RK05f, though.)

Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.
