Motorola StarMax

[citation needed] The StarMax line was discontinued on 11 September 1997[2] after Apple terminated the Macintosh clone license program that year.

The license also allowed Motorola to sub-license Mac OS to its customers along with motherboards it would sell as OEM.

Apple later expelled Motorola from the AIM alliance as retaliation, leaving IBM to make all future PowerPC CPUs.

In addition, the StarMax 6000[6] was based on the PowerPC 750 processor,[7] but was never shipped due to the termination of the Macintosh clone program.

[9] StarMax models numbers were derived using a standard system: (product line)/(CPU speed)(case type) 5000 and 5500 models used an upgraded "Tanzania II" logic board featuring faster system bus speeds and improved integrated graphics based on the ATI 3D RAGE II+ chip.
