the fact that the two LEDs come on and then go off suggests that you *are*
successfully putting the hc11 into download mode.
it also happens that the hc11 TxD pin is in what's called "wired OR mode"
during bootstrap. this means that it can only drive a low/0v state and
requires a pullup resistor (resident on the HB) to generate the high state.
so i would check the resistors involved in the serial line ckt -- most
notable, resistor pack RP4. this should be a pack of four discrete 1K
resistors. if you have a pack of 7 common-bussed resistors that would be
problems.
