Now Apple users can take advantage of new Mac clone

Article Abstract:

Apple users can finally take advantage of a low-cost Macintosh PC as Power Computing markets the first Macintosh clone. Unlike IBM clones, the Apple clones are licensed by Apple and feature the PowerPC chip designed by Apple to guarantee compatibility. While detractors say the Apple clone is too late for Apple's welfare, users can take advantage of the increased power. Power Computing has unveiled three new models in limited quantity. The clones are comparable to three of Apple's own top-of-the-line offerings. The Power 100 model costs $3,250 and is similar to Apple's 8100 machine. This midrange machine ships with 16MB of RAM, a 730MB hard drive and a quad-speed CD-ROM drive. The Power 100 costs significantly less than an Apple machine, but the price does not include a monitor.

NuTek USA to sell desktop computers that it says mimic Apple's Macintosh

Article Abstract:

NuTek USA Corp announces plans to begin selling the first commercially available Apple Macintosh clones. The computers will run many but not all Mac programs. NuTek plans to sell the computers to organizations that will use them to run specific Mac applications or alongside IBM PC clones. NuTek Pres and CEO Benjamin Chou and a team of 15 engineers designed the computer from scratch, carefully recording all details of the development process to protect the company against a possible legal attack from Apple. Like the Mac, NuTek's computers are based on Motorola Inc's 68030 microprocessor. Computer experts applaud the NuTek machines, but say the company may have a difficult time selling them.
