Umax

UMAX Technologies (originally UMAX Computer Corporation) is a manufacturer of computer products, including scanners, mice, and flash drives, based in Taiwan. UMAX was formerly a maker of Apple Macintosh clones, using the "SuperMac" brand name outside of Europe. Some of their models included the SuperMac S900/S910, J700, C500 and C500e/i/LT, C600e/v/LT/x and Aegis 200. The C500 was marketed as the Apus 2000 in Europe. 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 [http://www.cucug.org/sr/sr9709.html#NEWS.10] due to their sub-$1000 low-end offerings, a market Apple was not strong in, and UMAX' stated desire to expand the Macintosh platform's presence in East Asian markets. UMAX could not remain profitable selling only these systems however, and briefly made IBM PC compatible computers [http://home.earthlink.net/~supermac_insider/history/history3.html] but since then UMAX have mainly concentrated on manufacturing scanners.

UMAX also produced a range of Intel based laptops plus standalone PCs in the mid-'90s.Unusually, UMAX has also made a 1.3 megapixel digital camera called the AstraPix 490. It is capable of recording video clips, functioning as a webcam and can even be used to listen to music encoded in MP3 format.
