Back in the 90s Apple was going to die, so they decided to allow people to make Mac clones like you could make PC clones. After about a year they stopped that because the clone makers were running them out of business.
I used to build those Mac clones back in the mid to late 90s. We were building high-end video editing systems, and you could either get a PowerMac 9600 or one of the clones. I think we used Daystar (?) machines, and I remember they had this PCI expansion box where you could run a ribbon cable and add more PCI slots for additional cards. Wild west, crazy stuff.
