COMMODORE DENIES IT HAS PROBLEMS WITH AMIGA

   Commodore International late yesterday rebutted a report that its
recent acqusition, Amiga Corp. of Santa Clara, wasn't meeting pro-
duction deadlines because Amiga managers were unhappy over Commodore's
declining stock price.
   Commodore bought Amiga because the start-up's color graphics per-
sonal computer offers the West Chester, Pa., giant a way to reverse
slipping sales.
   Clive Smith, Commodores vice-president of corrporate planning and
development, said there has been no production slowdown and that the
Amiga machine is on schedule forr its summer introduction.
   Bob Pariseau, Amiga's vice-president of software, last night
declined comment.
   Commodore's stock has fallen frrom $25 a share when Amiga was bought
last year to $11 a share Monday.  The deal between Amiga and Commodore
was for an undisclosed amount of cash and stock.
   Some industry analysts have cautioned that Commodore will post losses,
on lower revenues, for the third quarter ended March 31.
   Pariseau declined comment on rumors that Amiga's president David Morris
is considering leaving the company.  Moris couldn't be reached for 
comment.
