[net.works] The Corvus Concept

From: "James Lewis Bean, Jr." <BEAN at MIT-MC>

Does anyone have anything good to say about one of these machines?
I went to see one at a "Computer Store" and seemed to know more
about the machine than the sales people did, oh well.  It looks
great!  The price  is great.  The problem seems to be there is
no documentation on the software that exists.  And there doesn't
appear to be much software for it.

For thoes of you who do not know what a corvus concept is...

The concept is an under $5K workstation.
68000 based with 256K standard.
15 inch 35mhz video
Bit mapped 720x560 display.
120x56 in landscape mode
90x72 in portrait mode
Two serial ports.
One omninet interface (1mbps serial rs422)
Detached Keyboard with lots of extra keys.

Anyone know where I can get unix for it?
