I'm not-so-seriously looking for an Intel MDS system :)
I have no idea what one is worth though. Vintage computer prices are all
over the place.
I had a lot of fun recently restoring an iPDS and building some boards for
it (the multimodule adapter and a few multimodules for it). I have thought
to myself, it would be fun to experiment with a similar system in MDS form
factor, one that ran ISIS-II.

In keeping with a previous discussion about reducing a
collection size,
I have an intel MDS system I am kind of looking to sell. This system
consists of the processor box, dual floppy drives, two keyboards (one
missing a keycap), and monitor. Unfortunately, no manuals or software
came with it when I got it some 30 or so years ago. Also I have never
powered it up and won't since it has been sitting for a long time and
will need a careful checkout to make sure it is safe to power up.
I do plan on attending VCFMW in early September, and can bring it with
me (and Sellam) for pickup at the show. My route will be I5 to I80 from
California so it might be possible for the buyer to make arrangements
with us to transfer the unit to the buyer along the way. Generally
speaking, there won't be much time along the way since I generally drive
24/7 except for short stops for gas and rest as needed
Long winded way of asking here has anyone a clear idea of what to
charge. It has been sitting in my garage since I acquired it.
