Subject: IBM 5100!

I met a friend of mine whom I hadn't seen in several years last night.
We
got to talking and I found out she had thrown out an
IBM 5110 system a
while
ago <sigh>. BUT she still had the 5100 and I
picked it up this morning.
It
consists of the 5100, a tape unit, printer, and
monitor. They will be
looking around for any documentation as it used to be kept with the
machine. In the mean time, does anyone know anything about how to start
up
this thing? I doubt I'll have problems with
plugging everything
together,
but after I throw the power on switch, what happens
then? Thanks.
