Yeah that's right, the sold a line of PC clones that Onyx was building, 
I've never seen an Onyx or Corvus branded PC.   I have an ad for a 
Corvus 386 Server.  Infact Infoworld announced it was the first server 
to use the new 386 processors.   The screenshot shows it running Netware 
on the screen.
