Foo! Too far. :-(

Real RK05 packs came in two flavors for DEC equipment - 12 sectors
of 16-bit words for PDP-11s and 16-sectors of 12-bit words. Perhaps
you have a pack from some other drive that is mechanically similar,
but not identical. I know Plessey made DEC-compatible machines.
Perhaps the packs are slightly different. The same style of packs
were also used in the IBM 1130, but I have no idea how many sectors
they are. Ditto for RK02/RK04 (low-density version of the
RK03/RK05)packs... not sure how they look.

I'd love it. Can't get to Texas by this weekend. :-(
