Fritz, It turns out that I was missing the KJ11 my cpu cards were wired to expect. On the 11/40 this module is the little M7237 card for space E of slot 3. The machine in question did not come with this card, I assumed it was not needed until I checked the cpu jumpers and discovered my error. Should have done this 1st! It was impossible to run the CQKC diagnostic for 11/40 or 11/45 - http://www.vintagecomputer.net/temp/disassembly.txt Instructions using IOT in particular.
