The original key board ( although nice ) is just a parallel out keyboard.
Most any such keyboard would work ( may need strobe inversion ).

It looks like it's missing the keyboard though. Otherwise it looks really nice!

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.
It's a 10 meg CDC Hawk with packs. Someone should grab it for that. I've seen
lots of MDS 225's but not one with a Hawk in a long time.
