[comp.misc] Info on: Scald IV, Corvus, Omninet, Valid wanted!

amk@psuecl.bitnet (02/02/90)

Hello fellow neters!

Recently, I made a purchase of several workstations that were marketed by
Valid logic systems. They were called Scald System IV. They are a 68010 based
system, with a 17 Meg hard disk, 720K floppy, bit mapped graphics display, 2-Meg
Ram, Two serial ports, one for the mouse, an Omninet interface, three
Apple II slots, and a few other odds and ends. They are running BSD4.2 of
Unix I believe. The system was designed and built by Corvus. The processor
board is referenced as the Mercury Processor.

Anyhow, I am trying to locate any technical info on these systems, ie. manuals,
schematics, specifications, SOFTWARE, etc. etc. Any help, clues, description
of features, pointers would be greatly welcomed!

I'm really interested in this Omninet interface. How it works, what protocol
is used, etc.

Also, a friend of mine happened across some Corvus Omninet disk servers
and Omninet serial interface boards. Any information on these items would
be welcomed as well.

Thanks!!!
