No, he wrote it for the MITS Altair he bought. Roger said so, in a panel 
at VCF-East some years ago. You may be confusing "TDL" with "TEI".

For TEI docs, I only have docs for the mainframe.

Your Web page is a good examination. It notes even board-trace 
similarities. It's likely TEI copied the IMSAI and then added their own 
features. Lots of copying went on in the S-100 era, down to replicating 
boards completely. If it's that similar, then producing a schematic may 
be a matter of verifying the board with ohmmeter following (and 
correcting) the MPU-A schematic.
