Are you sure? I've never seen one (but I do have the printset somewhere), 
I thought it was a 10.5" unit, not very deep, like the H720 supply used 
to power the RK11-C. Maybe I misrememebred or there were several versions.

To be exact, the RK05 _drive_ could do either (look at the schematics, 
one of the signals on the interface connector is left open for 1-of-n 
selects, grounded for binary selects). I can also remember that the 
RK11-C uses 1-of-n selects and works fine with the RK03 or RK05, the RK11-D 
uses binary selects and works with the RK05 only.

Sorting out the select lines might need a couple of chips, but it's not 
very difficult.
