Who Knows Corvus?

[neiderma@eden.rutgers.edu (Kid)]

Here we go with more "what the hell is this" hardware game...  :)

I have what I think is a big Corvus hard drive.  Maybe.  It has a
set of ports on the back.  A video in and video out (but neither
whow anything when an RCA cable was connected from them to a
composite monitor), VCR remote port (32 pins or so), processor
port (32 pins or so), drive port (32 pins or so), and 4 DIP switches.
There are 3 LEDs on the front and the sticker says "Corvus Systems".
When powered up, it makes a spinning-up noise like an older hard drive
coming online.  There is a hand-written note on top taped that
says "sell this along with the set, it is photographic equipment".

Of course I didn't get it as part of a set.  Help?  If you know what
it can do, would you be interested in it?  I can't figure out
what to do with the thing.
