Re: Number of known Apple II clones (maybe?)

I've put together a list of known and rumored Apple II clones, and so
far, it's at 162. I would say that 95% of those are fairly well
confirmed, but the other %5 might be fakes.

I was guessing that the number would have been closer to 200+, but now
it's looking like my guess was high.

I've managed to find images of 115 different clones so far, but I'm
hoping that number will grow substantially once my website opens to the
public next week. I've bought my domain name (apple2clones.com,) and the
site is built but I'm waiting on the host server admin to give me the
green-light to move the site to the new server (very fast/no pop-ups!)

I think my website is pretty cool, as vintage computer sites go, but I
might be a little biased. Hehe. Wayne has seen it.

I'm still looking for pics of the "Boston IV" and "Mackintosh" clones,
amoung others. Please let me know if anyone has images of those systems.

DO you have any information on Soviet Clones? I remember reading that in the USSR they had copied the 6502 (among others) but changed the packaging to a metric size, then copied the Apple2 to use it and other chips. That would be an interesting machine to have.
