I used to have a number of Laser machines that were NOT Apple clones
but PC compatibles. I don't know if this is the case with yours. Laser
was a PC clone manufacturer until they went out of business maybe 5
years ago, to the best of my knowledge at least.

The 128 is an Apple clone, but you're right, they started
also IBM cloning - like most of the clone companies.

P.S.: I still belive in my theory that IBM cloning was initiated by Apple.

Except that there were TRS-80 clones long before the
Franklin Ace
initiated Apple II cloning.
When had Franklin started cloning ?
I remember have seen the first Apple ][ clone in spring 1980.
(But Franklin or Compaq are only the smaler parts of my theory)
