I would really appreciate that. There is nothing on any of the boards that
looks like an EPROM and there is an empty socket on the RAM/ROM board, so
this beast may not currently be able to boot. I may need a ROM dump from you.

That would be great.

I have the stuff to make ribbon cables. It just weirds me out that they put
the connectors on the bottom of the cases.

Can do.

It's up now.

Physically, not even close. But, judging from the way the modules are
broken out and the fact that it uses an 8080 I would imagine that there
are similar signals on the bus. I may try to sit and puzzle out what
is on the bus tonight, but I've had a long day and probably won't get
too far. You don't have schematics in any of your docs?
