Heh, wow. 200 clones. Only second to the IBM PC. ColuMBIa.. a mirror image. Columbia Computer Company, that was their ad. Not an easy feat and probably no other computer comes even close. I'm not gonna count CP/M machines as these were no more than use all common platforms, no one was really out to clone anything. Much like x86 Wintel has become today. CP/M. The Wintel of yesterday.
No, Wintel machines truly are clones. There are just lots of functionally identical ways of building them. When everyone implements the bugs along with the features, then you know they're cloning. -michael New, faster SUDOKU v2.0 solver for Apple II's!
