Unfortunally either your 6504 (the processor) or the 6530 are damaged. There is 
a smal chance that they are not working due to oxidated (good english ???) 
connections. You can fix that problem by pulling the ICs out of their sockets 
and put them back again. 
If the 6504 is broken, you could try to replace it with a 6502 using a 
'verloopvoetje' (I don't know the english word at all :-(, just rewire a 28 and 
40 pins socket). If the 6530 is the problem, then read my article about the KIM 
at FUNET.
Fortunally I do have the complete sourcecode of the 4040 drive but only on 
paper. In the worst case we replace the 6530 by a 6532 and an EPROM.
