In 1994 some guys in my fraternity had a corvus system, but for the IBM 
PC.  We had ISA cards that we plugged in to our computer, and the same 3 
pin connector.  We ran some kind of wire from each computer to the next, 
kinda like daisy chaining them.  At one end we added a resistor and the 
other end the corvus unit.  It was a 20M MFM hard drive and some circutry.  
In theory, we should have been able to mount the corvus drive as a drive 
letter under DOS.  We never got it to work.  I think we were missing some 
drive letters or something.  The guys that brought it into our house came 
from the same high school.  That school "decomissioned" the system and 
just gave it to them.
