I just bought one of those off ebay for $50. ?Shipping was a killer though. ?Very nice
machine. ? Just wish I had a boot disk for it.

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:

Despite being local *and* placing a low bid on the lot, I completely
dropped the ball (mouse?) and forgot about the closing.
Did anyone here end up with this fine blue machine?
