Corvus Omninet... TRS-80?

Funny we were just talking about Corvus OmniNet over the past few days. That definitely sounds like the kind of connector that OmniNet used. I have no idea if it worked with TRS-80, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised that it did. - Bob -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-admin(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-admin@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Louis Florit Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 4:34 PM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Corvus Omninet... TRS-80? I have a TRS-80 I got from Weird Stuffwhile I was living in Silicon Valley. It was the last few left from what aparently was a school 'Please take these dinos away' disposal. Its a model IV, but has no drives. I was tempted to gut the case, create some sort of adapter for the keyboard to connect it to an internal PC mobo and replace the monitor as well. Needless to say I never got around to it. Its in working condition, (turns on, goes into basic, keyboard works) but the case is showing its age and exposure to the elements. While I was in the process of taking it apart to clean it up, I saw two butterfly nuts with a piece of what seemed a cut off telephone cable, 2 leads. I asked on the trs80 newgroup and they mentioned that it could be a now little known networking card for a system, Corvus Omninet. This would explain the diskless condition of the TRS-80, as it would load up its files over the network to do anything interesting besides load up the basic rom. Since I didn't hack the TRS80 into the abomination I was thinking of, I would like to sell it (cheap! take it off my hands! I've too many computers) to someone more interested in it; mail me offlist: florit @t unixville.com Anyone have a server for this setup? Definitely cool on the unknown factor.
