Everyone was right about what I was experiencing.  It was BEVNT/LTC.  
The front panel switches on the BA11-M I have read:

[HALT]  [RESTART] [AUX ON/OFF]

and I can't turn off the LTC from the front panel.  I had to set a 
switch on the BDV11 to disable BEVNT and with that XXDP booted up.  
Version 2.6.

Would like to run the RXV21 diagnostics since I have a 2nd controller 
that fails to work with the RX02 emulator.
