Ponder that for a while! > Oh, but there is a Mac clone. It's not by IBM, but it's in a PC box. Just read about it in MacWeek. It has a 68000 and a 128K ROM. The part I can't figure out is that it says it's a Mac II clone. It may be the size of a Mac II, but it sure sounds like a Plus to me. I don't think it mentioned NuBus, but how can it support color? Maybe it's the size and price ($3500+) that makes it a Mac II clone. For that price, why wouldn't someone just buy a true Mac Plus (or 2)?
