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.
