This is sort of interesting....
The write-up seemingly gets the nomenclature wrong, as there never was a 604e that ran at 300Mhz; that distinction belongs to the 604ev, which is a different chip with a much better 1 MB cache. It is what runs in the final versions of the 8600 and 9600, from 250-350MHz.
Were there, however, really clones that could run a dual processor 604ev? I lived in Europe right through the 90s, and followed the Mac world avidly then as now, but have never heard of these seemingly German machines. I now want one.

Yes there where dual clones.. I think its was a Daystar and or UMAX.

These were 604- and 604e-based machines, not the 604ev-based one I referenced in the thread.
(I tried but couldn't delete the duplicate thread, by the way, and am not sure where it came from. A Freudian slip on the Enter key, perchance?)

The MaxxBoxx could do SMP if I recall.
It would appear that Everymac agrees with me on this. They were sold primarily in Germany same as the system referenced by the OP.

You sometimes find those oddball clones on the European ebay sites, because most of them were sold there. I have yet to find a Maxxboxx for sale,though, and I want one.
