The Frankling Ace was like an Apple ][+ clone, they even copied the ROM bit by bit and then changed the names in it to use Franklin Ace instead of Apple ][+, etc. Then there was the Russian Apple pirated system, and a few others. Then the IBM PC and its clones came along and almost wiped out Apple, until the Mac started to sell more systems. By this time, in 1985, Steve Jobs was let go, and Sculley had Apple make color macs in 1987 and Macs with expansion slots (Nubus, gag, choke, bleah!) which was an improvement over the "Mr. Coffee" shaped Macs that only used SCSI and other ports for expansion.
