I found the problem myself. I really should keep quiet but on the chance 
that someone else makes the same error I'll admit to my ineptness.

I opened up the KX3 and looked very carefully around the inside. 
Something about the ribbon cable joining the two halves caught my eye. 
It was plugged in BACKWARD. I plugged it in the correct way, powered up 
the KX3 and no more error.

So if on powering-up your newly self-assembled KX3 you get an ERR IOA, 
d=001 followed by an ERR IOB, d=001 check to see if you have your cable 
plugged in backward.

I wish everyone in this part of the world a Happy Thanksgiving and 
everywhere else a great day.

73,
