As a minimum, you need a console in and out, disk read, write and most likely format.
It may be that the machine has a special graphics video but you really only need
a serial out to get started.
The same for a keyboard. A serial in is usually easier to handle than a keyboard.
Once you have that level running, you can then explore the rest of the system
with a working CP/M.

No Chuck, they are not known. Thats why I feel I'm in trouble.
The BIOS on the floppy controller can help anything? :(
I suppose it could be a start. An inventory of the chips in the system
might also provide some clues.
