Yep, that's exactly what I have -- it's a CCS 2200A.  It's a nicely 
equipped system and it appears to be complete, with CCS CPU, 64K Memory, 
I/O and Floppy controller.  It also has a Micro Diversions MicroAngelo 
video board and a Morrow winchester controller (which attaches to two 
24mb SA4000 drives that might still work).  Should be interesting to get 
running again.

I've purchased a suitable power cable, thanks to all for pointing me in 
the right direction.
