The Rise and Fall of the Macintosh Clones - Part 1: The Original Apple Hackintosh

Today we're taking a look back at Apple's history and the interesting story behind copycat and unofficial Macintosh computers. This is the first part in a video series about the complete history about the Macintosh clones. This first video covers events from 1984 through 1991.

In these videos I'll be showcasing some interesting clone models and the stories behind them. So grab a startup disk, bless that System Folder, and sit back as we travel back in time to the mid 1980's... to find the original Hackintosh.

Correction:
When speaking about the BlueMaq models (27:07), I incorrectly said a "6800 desktop", I meant to say "68000 desktop", referring to the Motorola 68000 CPU common in Macs of the time.
