Is REX NEC supposed to work in a PC-8300?

On the one hand:
The REX docs only mention 8201 explicitly, and definitely the two machines have differences. And in my 8300 the rebuild installer locks up during erasing blocks, different block# each time. If use an 8201 to run the rebuilder and then move the working rex to the 8300, I can't load option rom images from disk into the rex. It starts and then crashes in the middle of loading the image.

On the other hand:
If use an 8201 to set up the REX and load some option roms into it, and then move it to the 8300, I can use it. REXMGR installs and runs, and I can switch between TS-DOS and UR2 option roms, and both roms work when selected.
