There are pictures of the P4000 here :

including the main PCB which contains an SC/MP (INS8060) and a couple of INS8154 chips.
In my opinion, the P4000 is still an interesting device, you can program it from the keypad, you can copy an EPROM to RAM, edit it, and burn the result back into another EPROM, etc. You have the SC/MP bus available on a header at the back too. But alas the EP4000 is more likely to end up raided for its 8154s.
