Nope. Those are different drives. Mine has 2

Uh, well, you are describing the top loader drive that uses IBM 5440
style cartridges, i.e. physically like the RL01 cartridges. Something
completely different from what we are talking about. This thread is about
2315 type cartridges for front loading drives ;-)
Of course, your drive has twice the capacity of an RK05 drive.
