  Well, you have an old '44. The newer ones emit more useful error messages.
The CP (CPU) errors mean that the console processor (8085) couldn't get a
proper response out of the main CPU. Possibly a missing board, mis-seated
board, or no memory at location 0. Also, a failure to start can be caused
by missing bus grant continuity or a missing 9302 terminator module. I sug-
gest you send direct mail to me and we can set up a time for a phone call
when you're at your 11/44.
