Amazing you could run all that off two caps and a transformer. Yea I
realize all the voltage regulation was done on board but, still.
I have never run into a S100 system with so many
boards installed.
Did they just stick a board in every slot or does that look like a
legit setup ?

That's a CompuPro 8/16. They were among the most powerful S100
machines available. You'd have a master CPU[1], several slave CPUs,
and usually several RAM and serial cards. RAM and serial cards, I
suspect, make up the bulk of the card compliment. It seems legit, but
I'd want to know exactly what the cards are before making an offer.
I recently sold one of these with nine cards. See
http://www.ebay.com/itm/230845482363. I think that guy is asking
about $600 too much.
[1] CompuPro had ordinary Z80 cards, i8085, i8086, i8088, 286, 386 and
M68k. The three latter ones still go for quite a bit of money.
