I can grab a big Compro (model:?) computer that the junk guys says is a
S100 computer. it includes two 8" drives.
Anyone know anything about this box?

Probably Compupro. Check inside to see what boards it has. If its
complete (i.e. CPU, RAM, I/O) then grab it. Grab it anyway, the Bait
Theory says that the S-100 boards will soon follow.

Ah yes. Active use of Rax's theory in computing
collecting. I
have multiple instances of empirical proof of it's validity.
Wonder what I would need to draw an Apple 1 to me.
WARNING! I have amassed a large body of data that shows
that this theory DOES NOT APPLY to Ohio Scientific products.

couple of 8s might be, so hope springs eternal.

Time does not necessarily figure in to the theory, besides which manuals
are not hardware and have little attractive power. :^)

Depending on what they want for it and what boards are installed, it is
probably worth picking up. Docs for the CompuPro machines and boards have
been pretty easy to come by. I have probably three or four units here that
use external floppy drives, and they are kind of interesting. Are those
8"drives external?
