I was told to lock the heads in the rx01 and rx02
drives.
Err, I think we told you to lock the heads the RL0x's, not RX0x's; the former
use large rigid packs, the latter are 8" floppy drives. AFAIK, there is no
need to lock RX heads when moving them - there is nothing in the manual about
RX drives being shipped from DEC with the heads locks.
