UMAX SuperMac

The machines were popular in places like Asia, Europe, and North America due to their low price and their reliability.

After Steve Jobs returned to Apple as the new CEO, he revoked all of the clone producers' licenses to produce Mac clones except for UMAX,[1] due to their sub-US$1,000 low-end offerings, a market in which Apple was not strong, and UMAX's stated desire to expand the Macintosh platform's presence in East Asian markets.

UMAX was the only Macintosh clone manufacturer to get a license for Mac OS 8, which expired in July 1998.

On May 27, 1998, UMAX ceased production of MacOS-based computers, and sold all remaining inventory by August 31, 1998.
