Yeah that's right, the sold a line of PC clones that Onyx was building,
I've never seen an Onyx or Corvus branded PC. I have an ad for a
Corvus 386 Server. Infact Infoworld announced it was the first server
to use the new 386 processors. The screenshot shows it running Netware
on the screen.

Weren't IMI's used in much of the earlier
Corvus drives too?
Yes, both the 8" and 5.25" ones that used a closed-loop voice-coil
servo positioner. On the shoebox-sized 5.25" one (4MB?) it was fun
to lift the front end of the drive off level and listen to the
positioner desperately trying to seek to an inner track. Not a lot
of oomph in the servo, I suspect.
I think Corvus eventually bought Onyx+IMI didn't they. And then
promptly filed for bankruptcy...
