That's how most 3rd-party RX controllers seem to work, in my experience.

Why? The RX02/DSD440 is a DY: device, not DU:

I've had it online for a long time, at
http://www.dunnington.u-net.com/public/ODT/Listings/RXV21BootD

I recently made a minor correction (almost all the DEC printed copies have
several errors). It's a Unit 0 bootstrap, but changing the word at
locations 001036 from 407 to 427 should make it work for Unit 1. At least,
I think so; I used it recently and I think that's what I did.
