Tom,
Thanks for the info. I'll take the cover off, do a little
inspection of the pack, heads, foam, etc. and if all
looks well I'll try to fire it up this weekend.

Ashley,
The removable pack is the same for both drives.
The additional data capacity comes from the fact
that the pack is not removed and as such the
alignment is not lost. If I recall correctly,
this allow the drive to double the track density.

Is there any difference in the cartridges for
an RK05F drive vs. an RK05J (or plain RK05)?
I just acquired an RK05F and am getting ready
to hook it up to my system along with my RK05J
drives so I can test it out. I know the pack
holds twice as much data as the RK05/RK05J, but
is there any physical difference in the packs?
I suppose I'll have to reconfigure my existing
RK05J drives so that the RK05F is either drives
0/1 or 2/3 (or 4/5).
Thanks,
Ashley
