I'm not sure when "then" was, but I think you've confused the company
"eMachines" with the older UMAX/Supermac brand. eMachines was from their
inception a PC clone company. Through acquisitions, eMachines was most recently an Acer
brand, but has just been discontinued recently.

Nuh uh. The original emachines at least sold mac cards. Check ebay. I still have my old
Futura SX video card stuck in a IIcx.
I have a Futura SX II in my basement along with the
original driver floppies. I have no idea whether the e-Machines
that made it is in any way related to the later one that Apple
sued when they started making candy-colored PC clones;
my suspicion is no, since I also have a vague (possibly
false) recollection that the Mac card company got
absorbed by Radius some time around the PowerPC
transition.
