Dave made a DF32/DS32 emulator:

Constructing an RK05 emulator would be very handy, for sure. I have toyed
with the idea for those that want to spin rust on a PDP-8 (but only have
12-sector packs) to have a timing converter within the RK05 that uses a PLL
to generate 16 sector pulses from 12, and can auto-detect when a real
16-sector pack is spinning (to pass the sector pulses through directly).
Has this been done?
