Any spare Corvus Concept hardware out there?

I assume the answer to the subject line is "no," but I figured I'd ask 
just in case one of you has a stack of this stuff lying around somewhere 
:). 

Picked up a Corvus Concept -- just the main CPU unit, no monitor, no 
keyboard, no drives.  It appears to work (it beeps when I turn it on!) 
but of course lacking any other hardware it's a rather bulky doorstop.  
I'd like to get it running, it's a cool 68k-based machine with a 
bit-mapped display and Apple II (!!) compatible expansion slots.  (Are 
there any other machines out there that used the Apple II bus for 
expansion?  Aside from Apple II-family machines and clones, of course...)

I suppose given enough time I could build a compatible monitor, hack 
together a keyboard interface, and get it booting over OmniNet but 
somehow having the original hardware would be nice too...

Thanks,
Josh
