Apple II Clones

Postby crustyasp46 » Tue Jan 07, 2014 5:20 pm

From the listing below it is obvious that the Apple II was easy to clone and was a thriving industry back in the day. It is no wonder that Steve Jobs became so protective and obsessive of Apple products.

Elite : This clone looks like an IBM PC
From the front, this Apple II+ clone looks like an IBM PC. Without knowing much about this clone, one can look at it, and assume that it was produced AFTER the IBM PC had achieved a high level of popularity (1982-83.) The company who produced the Elite probably wanted to make their computer sell better by using a case that looked like an IBM PC. Or, it's possible that computer cases like this one were simply cheaper and more easily available than empty Apple II clone cases.

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.
