Yep, I had a few. The other platter sits under the cart, fixed, but using
the same spindle air handling and actuator. I don't remember if the RK05
had the extra fixed platter. I think not.
Cheers, Jim

The 1130 had one, 5 fixed / 5 removable. Ran hundreds of Fortran and
programming jobs every day.
A 2315 cartridge has only one platter, used in the 2310 disk drive, the
forerunner of many similar drives like the RK05 from DEC.
