Sorry, I don't have a list available, but beware that if you end up
purchasing a computer that "borrowed" the design from an American
company and didn't pay royalties to do so, US Customs will end up
with it instead of you.

This happend to a friend of mine who bought an imitation Apple II,
it was real cheap too.  But when he arrived in Hawaii to go through
Customs, they confisacted it. So much for that.
