By the way - just to make another silly comment... The RK07 is a small
disk
(it's basically just an overgrown RL02). Come back when you've played with
an RP06 for a while... Then we can talk of walking...
I encourage anyone in this hobby to read the stories arround Fastrand.
Not sure how much is true or exaggerations, but it's a fun read.
Or the spinning up of an RM03. Sounds like it is going into warp
overdrive,
and will open a hole into another dimension as it is spinning up...
Let's do the time warp again :-)

Ahhh, Fastrand rings a bell ... that's Sperry isn't it?
I will google for that and for "walking disks" this evening.
Must be interesting. I used to work on Sperry 1100/63.
Yeah, I have three RM03 drives. I cleaned the first one, but after
powering up, the lid remains locked. I have not (yet) investigated it.
