Clones and Quirks

There are many Apple II clone computers, such as Laser 128, CEC, Bell & Howell, etc.

Some Apple II clones feature special quirks, for example, Chinese characters display in CEC. These features are seldom being supported by most of the Apple II emulators.

MAME supports some of the Apple II clones, but they are listed as independent machines and each requires its own unique ROM set.
