Well, I have bad news and good news. The bad news is
that I was unable
to fix my RL01 cable. I tried a few approaches to reconnect the pins I
could see were disconnected and wasn't able to get it to work. However,
the good news is that I was able to acquire another cable and that
fixed the problem entirely. In fact, the PDP-11/73 booted off the RL01
pack the first time I powered it up. I have three packs and was able to
read all of them. One contains RT-11 V5.5, another is a TSX-Plus system
disk but appears just to boot RT-11SJ. It does have lots of files on it
with ".tsx" extensions but doesn't seem to boot TSX. The third is a
blank scratch pack.
You need to actually run TSX. The bit you want it TSX.SAV iirc.
