I've had one of these (ACUSON AEGIS QV100) floating around my collection for years. Technically, I guess it's not a "clone" since it has an actual Mac motherboard. It's never worked and I've never really messed with it too much, so recently I've been doing some research. The one in the pictures isn't mine... I've had mine for probably 8-10 years now.

Here's a couple articles I found related to it:

I guess Apple licensed several different Mac's to be sold in these systems for medical imaging. The second article references the QV100 using a "650" motherboard, but mine uses a IIvi mobo (which ironically, is one of 2 Mac II's I don't have ). The board very clearly has bad caps and I'm not sure if anything else is bad.
