What does one do when one only has a "1"?
it works, but i'd like a 0. can I make one out of something else?
A zero has short edges on upper and lower left, short on upper right,
intermediate on lower right (that last one is the "valid plug" finger).
A one has short edges on upper and lower left, long on upper right,
intermediate on lower right.
Back years ago when I got my RL01 drive, it came with a 1
but no 0 (or maybe it was 2-1s). I used this observation
to file down the long edge on the 1 to make it a 0. Then
I gently filed off the digit 1 on the front and replaced
it with a 0 printed on a label printer in a similar font.
It's not perfect, but it works and looks passible.
