This one's definitely too new for something out of West Chester. Commodore finally dumped their PC division some time in fiscal 1993 when they realized what a bad idea it was. Could be an Escom machine - they were supposedly using the Commodore brand to hawk PCs in parallel with Amiga Technologies' development.

Escom bought all of Commodore. The Commodore brand name was slapped onto PCs, and the Amiga brand name continued with the new batches of 1200s, 4000Ts, and the Walker.

It was Gateway who bought only Amiga, leaving the Commodore brand to hop between similarly useless owners.
