I'm in NE, but will take one from wherever I can get one! Looking for the add-on board that interfaces with Corvus Omninet (twisted-pair) network.
Their has been some independent users recreating the cards for their own use, mostly re using the recovered Corvus Transponder cards for the Apple II computer.Where is that quote from? I had no idea there was a project to clone Corvus interface boards and would be interested in knowing more about this effort.
Thanks for putting a direct link for an alternative Corvus's Omninet Card as the original website for Corvus Systems is no longer active.There's also an Omninet card for the Victor 9000. I'd expect the DEC Rainbow card to be quite similar to the Victor card. There's schematics for the Victor card are here on page 79:

There's also source code for the Omninet Victor card here:

It was re-branded as VictorLan, but it's standard omninet card with a different name. Much of the source code looks platform independent to me, without doing more than a cursory glance. Hope that helps with your endeavor.
I think it use to be at something like www.corvusmuseum.com. ? or some thing like that
I sorry, but back in your Oct 6, 2023 message it looked like you where looking for a Corvus Omninet (twisted-pair) network card for the DEC.I would have downloaded anything from Curt's site that was unique. Is there something particular you are after? I can check my archives.
