I believe the correct RL0x values should be:

 RL01       256     40     2   256    5242880      10240      5.000 MiB  ?
 RL02       256     40     2   512   10485760      20480     10.000 MiB  ?

The utility of such a list is great.  Various folks have tried to develop
such lists over the years, with varying success and degrees of fidelity
and accuracy.  Perhaps a document on the SIMH site or in a community
editable form (Wikipedia?) would be useful to coalesce and supersede the
individual efforts?

Since Delta is file-system specific, maybe a separate table for the
various DEC files systems that have device-specific parameters would be
appropriate?
