Absolutely! A nice collection really needs one of those drives
that look like top-loader laundry washers and have drums as big as
those. I just passed on one RP07 because it only was the size
of an American laundry washer but not a removable drum. I think
the RM03 comes closest to my romantic image of that top-loader.
I probably will never have one, but will stick to RA60s (I just
love RA disks and only need a 7x and a 60 to have the complete
series 60, 81, 82, 90, 92, 7x.) I already know where the RA60 will
go. Top-loader removables are just great and if you have a
truck and drive 1100 km for other stuff, by all means take
them too!!!
