IMSAI Restoration Suggestions?

I'm hoping someone on the list can help. I rescued an IMSAI 8080, as well
as a large (and heavy) dual 8" drive chasis (fully enclosed).

The IMSAI is stocked full of cards which I haven't figured out what they
are yet as they're in pretty tight and I'm afraid of breaking something
yanking them out. I'm assuming at least one of them is a terminal
interface card and another an interface for the drives.

Here's the two problems with the unit though:

1) It appears to be missing the main processor card. Everything else
looks mint, including the control panel and the ribbon from the pannel
to the control/processor card is intact as well.

2) The people (the university janitorial staff) that were throwing it out,
cut off the power cord. Hence there is a stub of a cord connected to the
power supply now running out the back.


I'm basicly looking for any help/suggestions in how to indentify the cards
and what I can do to fix the other two problems. Thanks!
