No. The only DEC drive that had removable plus fixed
on the same spindle
was the RC25.
If I remember correctly it was Diablo that sold an RK05-compatible drive
with one fixed platter and one removable cartridge. I encountered it on a
PDP 11/34 running Mini Unix and then, hmmm, Unix v<something small>. (Or
maybe had to move to a larger disk system when we moved up from Mini Unix.
The details have gotten hazy.)
