Lines: 11 Not only does the Corvus Constellation allow you to hook up an Apple and an IBM to the same hard disk. It also allows you to connect other computers like TRS-80's, NEC's, etc... With the Corvus OmniNet local area network and a 20 meg Corvus drive, you can actually link up to 64 workstations to that single hard disk, complete with password security for each user. I've had the chance to use such a system, and it seems great. You can 'partition' the disk, such that software in DOS, CP/M, Pascal, and other formats can occupy various parts of the disk at the same time, so you are not limited to just one operating system. The only thing that puts me off is the price, which can be pretty steep, depending on the configuration.
