<>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.

<Well, then, these are your disk controller(s). The "something" that
<comes after Disk is very important in identifying them!

Likely 512k Mdrive (ramdisk) really nice and quite a speed up for cpm.

<> A wire wrapped (home-brew looking) card that looks like the 8" drive
<>interface.
<What makes you think that it's the 8" drive interface? Look for the 50-pi
<cable coming from the drive box and figure out where it's going.

Could be anything...

<> Another card covered with 6116 Ram chips.
<
<32 6116's gives you 64Kbytes, a comfortable amount for running CP/M-80.
<Your description matches that of the Compupro RAM17, though lots of
<of other manufacturers made similar boards that might be in your system.

Ram16, ram17 there were other vendows with comparable cards.
