MacTell

 
   
  Mactell was a Motorola-sublicensee, and later a Umax-sublicensee, that sold an overly complex line of Tanzania, Alchemy, and Tsunami-based MacOS-Compatibles primarily in the US market. After MacOS-licensing was cancelled, Mactell shifted its focus to Mac upgrade cards and video cards and high-end Alpha-based servers running Windows NT. Due to difficulties transitioning from MacOS-Compatibles to other product lines, Mactell closed its doors on October 25, 1999.
