Oh, but there is a Mac clone.  It's not by IBM, but it's in a PC box.
Just read about it in MacWeek.  It has a 68000 and a 128K ROM.  The
part I can't figure out is that it says it's a Mac II clone.  It may
be the size of a Mac II, but it sure sounds like a Plus to me.  I
don't think it mentioned NuBus, but how can it support color?  Maybe
it's the size and price ($3500+) that makes it a Mac II clone.  For
that price, why wouldn't someone just buy a true Mac Plus (or 2)?
