Ohio Scientific's Rescued...need help/info!

Last night I rescued two Ohio Scientific systems:

A challenger C1P and

A Challenger II (which was a MUCH bigger box, and had a matching big,
heavy dual 8" floppy cabinet).

The haul also included an ADM-3A terminal (always wanted one of
these), and a dual 5 1/4" floppy cabinet (don't know which system
this goes to).

I got no documentation, no software or anything
(these were all picked up from a curb-side garbage pile!!)!

I've always admired the ohio scientific systems...and almost bought a
C1P back in the late 70's (it was a toss up between a C1P and a
trs-80).

Any pointers to documentation, software, specifications, etc??

I've read the stuff on a careful process to power-up an altair...does
this apply to these systems too (I don't have much in the way of
electronic test equipment or power supplies).

thanks much!

Man...I hate to think of these classic's going landfill...... gotta
save 'em all!
