I was under the impression these were RK03s.

The disks have a "-8" designation on the edge, where the RK05s have
the -16.  So I am guessing they are half the density of an RK05 pack?
I am still trying to get these to work.  Something happened during
transport.  The drives operate somewhat, although a bit flaky at times
it seems.  It could be something with the controller too.  I am waiting to receive the hardcopy of the rest of the documents for this to figure out the problem.
