So it seems that no one has been able to reverse engineer Mac roms?
Is it just that no one cares or is Apples legal department much tighter than
IBMs
I made a timely
find today of the first edition of _Build Your Own
Macintosh and Save a Bundle_. In Chapter 2 it has a price comparison
between the clone "Cat" Mac and the real Mac. The computers it lists are:
Cat Mac SE
Cat Mac SE 30
Cat Mac II
Cat Mac IIfx
Cat Mac IIcx
Cat Mac IIci
I was referring to the actual clones. I'm not sure where it is in your
book, but in my 2nd edition, if you look at Chapter 11, Cat Mac builder
alternatives, you will see mention of the Mac clones Zane listed.
