[comp.sys.apple] Corvus Omninet

reeder@reed.UUCP (Doug Reeder) (09/20/89)

    Does anyone know if it is possible to hook a IIc to a Corvus OmniNet?  I
could have the use of a Corvus OmniDrive if I can hook it up to my IIc, but
the OmniDrive talks only over a network (I think).

The OmniNet requires an interface card.  It works on a ][+, //e, //gs (in
slow mode), but will not work on a //c or //c+.

   Nope.
 
  The corvus requires each machine on the net to have an omninet card
installed in it, which, of course, leaves the //c right out in the cold,
lacking the slot in which to install such a card. Sorry.
