Picked up a Corvus Concept -- just the main CPU unit, no monitor, no
keyboard, no drives. It appears to work (it beeps when I turn it on!) but of
course lacking any other hardware it's a rather bulky doorstop. I'd like to
get it running, it's a cool 68k-based machine with a bit-mapped display and
Apple II (!!) compatible expansion slots. (Are there any other machines out
there that used the Apple II bus for expansion? Aside from Apple II-family
machines and clones, of course...)
I suppose given enough time I could build a compatible monitor, hack together
a keyboard interface, and get it booting over OmniNet but somehow having the
original hardware would be nice too...
I have a couple of Concepts here, but only a single monitor. Will have to
check on keyboards, but I don't recall having spares on those off the top
of my head.
The Apple slots are unique as far as I know. I've had the Disk II
controller working on my unit in the past to read Apple diskettes. There
is a driver for it in the operating system distribution.
