Depends what you consider a clone and what counts as a remanufactured mobo unit (Outback).

I also remember a company in Vancouver around '96 that made a 14inch leather and titanium "laptop" (though it didn't have a battery) for $14,000 based on repurposed Tanzania 4400 mobos. IIRC, they had two prototype units (one of which I was able to test) before Apple Legal dropped the boom and killed them off.
Wow, that would have been nice! I had a starmax 4000/200, and it was the shit. I know think it was tanzania 4400, but I can't say for sure. It was basically a PowerMac 7200 with improvement if I remember.
