Just for laughs, I'm curious if anyone here might have a controller card for Corvus hard drives? I have had a 5mb and 10mb unit here for a LOOOONG time and need a controller board to use them. I know they made controllers for IBM, Atari and Apple II machines but haven't been able to locate one. I almost got one from a guy in Ohio once, but he wanted his drives backed up because they had a lot of vintage user group material on them before he would let it go and he never got around to doing it or getting back to me. 😒

I would presume by his saying Corvus, that he means Corvus drives. 😉

I dunno where you're gonna find a controller for one of those beasts, though... maybe try on the Vintage Computer Forum? I think there's one or two Corvus collectors over there.

Trouble is, those things weren't really high-volume items even at the time ($5000 pricetag, remember), and the company's been out of business for nearly 25 years.
