I had no plans to modify my higher numbers. I was trying to suggest to 
people that if they had access to higher numbers they could use them intact 
in an RL01/RL02 and the drive itself would treat them as lower numbers 
(there are 2 microswitches in the RL drives, 3 in the RK drives).

I would be willing to loan my numbers to Vince to copy (if he wants to try), 
but since they are the only ones I have over 3 as well, I'd prefer not to 
trade them away. I used to have a pair of RK07 drives and a score of packs, 
but they didn't survive the closing of Software Results 12 years ago (I had 
to leave them behind because they were too large to transport/store). 
Someday, I hope to replace them, but it's not a huge priority (they are 
easier to repair than more modern drives, but on a MB/volume/kWH curve, they 
are hard to justify for heavy usage).
