Here are some messages posted to UseNet 29-30 April, 1994.
It looks like the good times are over, Commodore _is_ out of business.
For sure. I wont be missing Commodare, but I sure will miss the Amiga
technology.
The Amiga is dead. Long live the... what?
/ Martin 'Leviticus' Blom
*******************************************************************************
Commodore's gone. <sniff> Completely. Voluntary liquidation. Meaning
there won't be _anyone_ making the Amiga any more. ::sigh:: Reported
by three seperate news agencies, CBM apparently made this announcement just
this evening (April 29th, Friday).
--cut here--
Hot off the wires, after the close of business on Friday, Commodore
made an announcement. Here are the stories carried on PRNewswire,
AP News and Reuters for *StarShip* members information.
COMMODORE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED TO LIQUIDATE
NEW YORK, April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Commodore International Limited (NYSE:
CBU) announced today that its Board Of Directors has authorized the
transfer of its assets to trustees for the benefit of its creditors and
has placed its major subsidiary, Commodore Electronics Limited, into
voluntary liquidation. This is the initial phase of an orderly liquidation
of both companies, which are incorporated in the Bahamas, by the Bahamas
Supreme Court.

Commodore Folds
By DINAH WISENBERG BRIN
Associated Press Writer
WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) -- Commodore International Ltd., a pioneer in the
personal computer industry, said late Friday it is going out of business.
The company plans to transfer its assets to unidentified trustees "for the
benefit of its creditors" and has placed its major subsidiary, Commodore
Electronics Ltd., into voluntary liquidation.
"This is the initial phase of an orderly voluntary liquidation of both
companies," Commodore said in a brief statement.
Company executives could not immediately be reached Friday evening.
The company last month reported an $8.2 million loss for the quarter ending
Dec. 31 on sales of $70.1 million. A year earlier, Commodore lost $77.2 million
on sales of $237.7 million in the same period.
In the latest report, Commodore said financial limits had thwarted its
ability to supply products, leading to weakened sales. One of its new products,
the Amiga CD32 video game, had sold poorly in Europe, where the company did most
of its business.
The company's net worth turned negative in the fiscal year ended last June
30.
Its stock, which had traded at around $3 per share before the quarterly
results were announced last month, closed unchanged at 87 1/2 cents per share on
the New York Stock Exchange Friday.
"This is a company that briefly captured the attention of the American market
and didn't go where the market was going," said David Coursey, editor of the
newsletter P.C. Letter in San Mateo, Calif. "They just never managed to change
with the marketplace."
While grabbing some market share and attention in the late 1970s, Commodore's
products were something between PCs and game machines "and never quite became
either," Coursey said.
Commodore started 40 years ago as a typewriter repair company in the Bronx.
Its extension to the adding machine business paved the way for it to make
calculators and then personal computers by the mid-1970s.
Commodore competed with Radio Shack for the first computers sold to homes and
co-founder Jack Tramiel became a highly-regarded figure in the fledgling PC
industry.
By the early 1980s, it was overshadowed in the PC business by Apple Computer
Inc. and IBM. Software manufacturers didn't create as much software for
Commodore's Amiga line as it did for Apple and IBM-compatible machines.
In recent years, most of Commodore's business was in Europe.
NewTek Inc. of Topeka, Kan., created a product called Video Toaster that
converted Commodore's Amiga to a video-editing system. The $2,500 product was
popular with small advertising agencies and home hobbyists. The company's phones
were busy Friday night.

*******************************************************************************
Take this for what you will. This is the information I have
collected form sources including: The CSM, Scala, MicroPace (C= distributor)
, CEI (C= distributor) and MicroTech (C= distributor as well)
First off, I called Micropace and spoke with my Rep.
I asked him if he had foudn out about the people they had liad
off and he didn't really know as of then, I asked him if his
customers were unhappy about not getting anymore A4000's. He
then told me that they were recieving a new shipment of the
A4000 line today. This could have included the new A4000LC
and the under $1400 A4000CR (cost reduced) that CEI had in
stock. ( I can varify this sence my friend now owns one from them,
it's only difference is that the 030 is on the motherboard, but
you can still upgrade with a 060 Modual later, it's SIMM ram sockets
are on the motherboard as well.) So they are still in stock of
A4000's for now.
CSM told me that the phillipeans plant has indeed closed
down for now and the CD32 isn't being produced, but they had made
a large amount of them in the past 9+ months and have enough
for the mean time, CEI is the main USA distributor for the CD32
is paying for several ads in several Magazines. Also the Plant in
ScotLand is shutting down for one reason, seems C= didn't pay them
for thier last batch of Amiga's.. so no more production untill
somone can front the money for the new Amiga's to be produced.
in other words, don't expect the A1200's to be very available
anymore.
Scala is trying to grab quite a fw A4000's to Run
Info-Channel on until something can be done to make more.
They are working on a IBM version that will not run quite
as well (obviously) but in other words, they are covering
thier butts.. I was told that the IBM support wouldn't
ruin the amiga support tho...There are MANY Amiga's out
there and they still need software. even if another
Amiga was sold from this day, there is still a very large
consumer Market out there.
and this you can take for what you will, a person
from MicroTech said it, not me, so you can believe it or not
I quote:
Today MicroTech, an Amiga distributor, said
that several US distributors had signed
agreements with C= Canada to get CPU/parts
and peripherals. They also said that Most
of C= USA's staff went to work for another
which is actually a new C= organiation but
with another name.
Cirtianly is interesting... C= USA is more or less taken apart
and being sold off... but Thhe AGA chipset doesn't nessasarily
have to go with them, it does belong to the creditors yes,
but, it belonged to C= before this and perhaps this was the
plan to save the Amiga.. who knows what will happen in the
next 3 months... CD32 is doing well.. to bad C= is
all but dead and CEI has to take it all over... Oh wait,
CEI is advertising, marketing, selling, getting reviews,
you know, all those things that C= didn't do? hmm maybe this
is all good news???
to end this off, I can't take any responcibility
for the accuracy of this, I do give my word that nothing here
I made up or just pulled out of the air.. all info was givin
to me by other people, those people are trustable too even!
see ya on the net.. with my A4000CR/future Cyberstorm 66Mhz 060
(that's right kids, let the 060 breath new power into that old
amiga of yours)
