Did it?  I don't remember ever seeing any Apple II clones, or clones of the Quadra etc..  Apple didn't allow clones until after Steve Jobs was kicked out of Apple; I remember seeing some Mac clones from Power Computing, Motorola, and maybe a couple otehrs.  Some of them were more powerful than Apple's Macs at a lower price.  But Steve Jobs killed that when he came back.
