In addition to Franklin, Bell & Howell makes an Apple fake-alike, under
license from Apple. Also, there's some strange company called "Synergistics"
(or some such variation on the word "Synergy") that makes one.  The
Basis-108 (pronounced "BAH-sis") is another one, containing a Z80 processor
in addition to the 6502.  Those are all the names I know of off the top of
my head.  Numerous counterfeit Apples are available in Southeast Asia,
Hong-Kong, and Taiwan, but these don't come into the country legally, and
are seized when they're spotted, although I am informed by those in the know
that customs officials can't or don't recognize counterfeit bare
motherboards.
