apple/corvus hard drive

Hi Al,

I have just joined the list and noticed the April 2003 exchange between you and Martin Scott Goldberg re Apples and Corvus hard drives.

That subject is why I joined the list!

I have been searching for documentation and admin/maintanence software for the Corvus hd for sometime.

I am a middle school teacher and have an old IIe/Corvus Appletalk network that my kiddos use. It was orginally part of an Impac Learning System lab. I "snagged" it when we upgraded some years ago.

I have ten computers, a hd chock full of MECC software and a variety of other software. I also have a 4 drawer file cabinet full of Apple software, and lots of extra apple talk cards/cables/etc.

What I want to do is learn how to "add" or "delete" pgms from the HD in order to use more/different software.

The specifics of the HD are:

Corvus model 74MB7
Rev C
SN 398-GN9230-P

I have no hd software or instructions of any sort. I *do* know how to connect it all, boot it up and use it. :)

Just wondering if anything you have in the way of docs or software might be of help to me? Or perhaps, you could point me in the right direction!

Please let me know if you can be of help, and what sort of costs might be involved.

Many tks your help..

Best regards.

I have an "H" series drive and an Apple II specific
Omnidrive. Not 100% sure that they are still working,
as they have been in storage for over 10 years.

I also have controller cards and manuals/software for
them.

I'd love to adopt them out to a good home, and
wouldn't want much for them. I just can't stand to
throw classic computer stuff out, but would love to
lighten the load around here...

They are heavy and shipping would be expensive.

It would probably cost more to ship the units than I'd
want for them...

Contact me off list if you're interested...

Regards,
Al Hartman
