Also, RK05s can be formatted by users (and often were),

RL01/RL02 media in the field, so I'd be hesitant to

I dropped an RL02 that had the only copy of some programs.
When put on the drive, it vibrated badly, and the ready
light flickered.
I loosened the screws visible on the bottom, and adjusted
the centering of the platter visually. I put it back on the
drive, and the vibration was much less, but the ready light
was still flickering. I adjusted the platter a few more
times and then the ready light was solid on, and I was able
to read the files!
If the owner of the system know what i'd done in the middle
of the night, they would have wanted my head!
