11/73 does support RL02, I know I have one connected. When the /73
come up if the switches are set tight it will either boot straight away
or prompt for a boot.

If you send a formatted file it must look exactly like what you type right
down to the LFs (without CRs). If you aare typing it in to a file to send
likely CRs are being added where you dont want them.
