Hi all!  I've just inherited a whole grunch of S-100 stuff, and I'd like to
try rebuilding a museum piece.  (I have a Cromemco in constant use, but this
new toy would just be for fun.)

It's a Franklin Systems (Westlake, Calif) box, with an IMSAI (yup, it's there)
front panel.  Among boards for which I have no documentation are:

MITS 8800B (rev 0) - 8080A CPU
Microdesign MR 8 - ROM board
Solid State Music - 2K/4K EPROM board
Solid State Music MB-6A - 8K RAM
Franklin Systems 480001B - 8K RAM
Franklin Systems 250019 - triple UART
IMS Assoc. Inc. RAM-4A (rev2) - 4K RAM
IMSAI PIO (rev2) - parallel IO
Tarbell 1001 (revD) - Cassette Interface
Tarbell MDL 1011 (rev d) - disk interface?

Plus, of course, the front panel.

It's under about a zillion pounds of dust.  Any/all assistance appreciated.
I think it would be fun to rebuild this beast.  I also have a couple cards
*with* docs, so it's even better than it sounds (of course to one who didn't
cut their teeth on something like this, it probably doesn't sound good at
all!)

Thanks,

P.S.
Unfortunately, I won't be in the vicinity during the Portland, Or. swap
meet this June, or I'd try that.
