There is
another solution to the problem which I took -- reformat
the media. Of course this means instantaneous data loss.
This is not an option for drives like the DEC RL01/RL02. The rest of
No, but as the RL's use an embedded servo system, you can align the heads
using _any_ normal disk pack. There was an amplitude test pack to check
the read amplifier, but you don;t _need_ that one.
