Tom,

you do realize that a DSD440 has exhaustive self-tests built-in ?

If you remove the lid and power up the system you should see the error-code in
the row of 8 leds on the controller board.
( the one in the DSD440, not the QBUS controller )
 If you do not have the documentation I could help you out with a copy of the
led decoding chart.

                
Anybody has a spare omnibus controller for the DSD440 ?.....
