Dual 604ev @ 300MHz?
This is sort of interesting....
The write-up seemingly gets the nomenclature wrong, as there never was a 604e that ran at 300Mhz; that distinction belongs to the 604ev, which is a different chip with a much better 1 MB cache. It is what runs in the final versions of the 8600 and 9600, from 250-350MHz.
Were there, however, really clones that could run a dual processor 604ev? I lived in Europe right through the 90s, and followed the Mac world avidly then as now, but have never heard of these seemingly German machines. I now want one.

Yes there where dual clones.. I think its was a Daystar and or UMAX.
These were 604- and 604e-based machines, not the 604ev-based one I referenced in the thread.
(I tried but couldn't delete the duplicate thread, by the way, and am not sure where it came from. A Freudian slip on the Enter key, perchance?)

You sometimes find those oddball clones on the European ebay sites, because most of them were sold there. I have yet to find a Maxxboxx for sale,though, and I want one.
