On Friday April 29 at 4:10 P.M. Commodore filed for liquidation. Their announcement was short:
"Commodore International Limited announced today that it's Board of Directors has authorized the transfer of assets to trustees for the benefit of its creditor 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. This action does not affect the wholly-owned subsidiaries which include Commodore Business Machines (USA), Commodore Business machines LTD (Canada), Commodore/Amiga (UK), Commodore Germany, etc. Operations will continue normally."If Commodore's liquidation had seemed like the death of a foster parent, the death of a real parent turned out to be even more painful. On June 20th, 1994, Jay Miner, the father of the Amiga died at the El Camino Hospital in Mountain View. He had been fighting against illness for a while, and eventually died from heart failure due to kidney complications.
