thought it would be of interest to list members.)
The Chicago Transit Authority is auctioning off a whole load of
miscellaneous stuff (including a couple of rail cars!). One of the items
being auctioned is what appears to be an Intel MDS 225 "Blue Box" (4 MHz
8085A system) complete with an MDS 720 disk expansion unit and some sort of
Control Data hard disk.
The specific lot is here:

No idea whether any of the hardware is functional.
Bids for the whole lot currently stand at $60. Auction for this lot ends
December 18th (Wednesday), 11:10 AM local time (Central Standard Time).
More info on the auction can be found via the link above.
