The box is white with the cheap looking Compupro badge on it. There is no
Model # or information on it.


><Anyone know anything about this box?

>Generic question generic answer.... Yes!

Thanks, how about a generic answer more like this:
        "It is probably an S-100."
        "Open it and look for:"
                "XXXX Processor.. this is a CP/M machine."
                "XXXX Processor.. This is a Super-whammodyne-OS machine."
                "A Blah blah card."
        "You will find the model Number on a badge under the left side, blah blah
blah."
Even this would be a better generic answer:
        "Don't waste your time or floor space, Godbout was a moron and his company
built junk".

On a more serious note, I looked inside and there was:
        A Z-80 cpu card.
        2 cards with 512K on them and were labled Disk something.
        A wire wrapped (home-brew looking) card that looks like the 8" drive
interface.
        Another card covered with 6116 Ram chips.
        An unidentified card.

There were 2 External 8" drives
