    COMMODORE ANNOUNCES LOW-COST
        AMIGA UPGRADE OFFER


WEST CHESTER, Pa. -February 5, 1990- Commodore Business Machines, Inc. Vice
President of Marketing Lloyd Mahaffey today announced the introduction of a new
Amiga upgrade program offering A1000 owners the opportunity to upgrade to any
A2000 series machine at a substantially-reduced cost.

The offer, which runs now through March 31, 1990, was developed to encourage the
large base of Amiga 1000 owners to upgrade to higher- performance Amiga 2000
series machines which are designed to take advantage of future product
improvements and software offerings.

Mahaffey said the upgrade program requires A1000 owners to return their machines
to a local dealer where they can purchase an A2000 machine for as little as
$999.00* -- a discount of approximately 50% over standard retail price.

*Valid at participating dealers only; taxes not included.

"Amiga 1000 owners are among the most dedicated ppersonal computer users,"
Mahaffey said. "We developed the offer in part to energize this important base.
It is also part of a much broader strategy to establish a more dominant position
for the Amiga in an industry which is finally beginning to catch up with the
machine's superior capabilities."

Commodore shipped the Amiga 1000, the first to be introduced in the U. S., in
September 1985. In addition to it's revolutionary graphics, sound and video
capabilities, the A1000 pioneered the multimedia computer market.

Commodore launched the A2000 series in August 1987 providing the market with
expanded capabilities based on advanced technology. The most recent addition to
the line was the Amiga 2500/30 introduced in November 1989.

Commodore Business Machines, Inc., based in West Chester, Pa., manufactures and
markets a complete line of computers and peripherals for the business,
education, government and consumer markets.

The multi-tasking Amiga line includes the Commodore Amiga 500 (TM), the
Commodore Amiga 2000 (TM) and three enhanced products: The Commodore Amiga
2000HD (TM), the Commodore Amiga 2500 (TM) and the Commodore Amiga 2500/30 (TM).
Commodore's line of MS-DOS (R) compatible computers includes the Colt (TM) and
Professional Series III (TM).
