Corvus Concept Rumors
I've heard the following rumors about the concept:

       - its a 68k based workstation which includes a bit-mapped
         display (something like 600x400) and is meant to
         interface to a local net like omninet

       - the software is window oriented and gives the impression of
         supporting multiple windows a'la Smalltalk

       - the software is based upon a relatively primitive single user
         O.S. called Merlin which was originated by Silicon Valley
         Software;  Corvus has greatly enhanced Merlin, primarily
         in screen handling facilities

       - Merlin as enhanced by Corvus is still a single task system

       - the Concept does not use multibus; it does provide some
         connectors into which Apple II (yes that's Apple as in Apple)
         peripheral boards may be plugged  [remember, these are rumors].


I'm attempting to get more information and a demo.
