Illegal Clones

[macvaya@mindspring.remove.this.com (Cali Ruchala)]

This is purely academic. A friend of mine and I have a running 
bet about one of the AppleII clones, called the LASER. Did this 
come with its own ROM, or did it require a ROM from a working AppleII? 
I seem to recall reading about a company that built "build-your-own 
AppleII-kits" which had everything but the ROM, and I'm not as 
certain as I'm pretending to be in this dispute whether or not 
that was the LASER or a different computer altogether.

I've still never seen one of these in the... err.. plastic. Where 
did LASERs come from, and how were they sold?


Cheers,
