Mac Clones: NuTek: Duet Specs | Ports
 |
The NuTek Duet is a reverse-engineered "semi-MacOS-Compatible" which features a 33 MHz 68030 processor, 8 MB of RAM, a 120 MB hard drive, a Mac-Compatible SCSI port, audio-in and audio-out jacks, and 2 NuBus slots. The Duet is the same as the One, but it has a 486/66 in the same case to run DOS and Windows. Technically, this is not a MacOS-Compatible since it doesn't run the MacOS, but it was an interesting attempt to make a MacOS-based computer before MacOS licensing. |

1.
The proprietary NuTek operating system was similar to System
6, but had
a System 7 mode that was intended to run "enhanced for System
7" software. Unfortunately, it never worked very well. 2. Have more information on the NuTek Duet? Let me know! Thanks. 3. Photo Credit: Popular Science (July 1993, p. 11). |
