The Vtech Laser 128 was an Apple2c clone sold by Sears in Canada. Vtech
was only company that Apple was unable to take legal action against. The
Laser ROM was sufficiently different from the Apple code that it could
not be proven to be a direct copy.
Here are the original manuals.

The Brazillian company Unitron made many Apple2 clones. Their government
had restrictive policies on importing of foriegn computers, and cloning
was highly encouraged. This appears to be a very generic and Standard
Apple2 clone.

The Korean "Ci Base-48" is another generic Apple2 clone. This one has
an exact copy of the Apple2 ROM - it even displays "APPLE ][" when it
starts up.

Here is a generic Apple2e clone - you can see the updated Apple2e
keyboard layout, and the logic board is laid out very similar to
the Apple2e. The 2e used proprietery chips, and was much harder
to clone than the Apple2, and this machine lies somewhere between
the two designs. The ROM's say "APPLE ][" at power-up.
I have no information about this clone - most of the ICs have a 1984
date code. If you recognize this unit, please contact me.
