Am I anyone?   On the cover of Infoworld, dated Jan 28, 1991, lower right:
Story about how Nutek Computers is coming out with Mac clones based on their
own ROMS, developed under cleanroom conditions (I hope everyone knows how
that works...the people who code the ROMS never see Apple code, but the people
who check compatibility have whatever they want).  The other gimmick is that
screen displays are equivalent rather than identical, and that some of the 
system software may be internally different in their machines.
