Gainful use of unreliable IBM DTLA disk...

One of my test-disks, one of the cursed DTLA's started acting up and got
moved down a notch in my test-hierarchy.
I decided to examine it a bit closer and found out that the lid has
a wedge shaped hole which makes it perfect for studying disksort()
in action.
Under the big white label is a small metal-sticker covering the
hole, simply replace that with transparent tape:

PS: Yes, you would be able to put one or two LEDs inside the disk if you
wanted to do extreme case-modding :-)
