Creative Micro Designs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Creative Micro Designs (CMD) is a computer technologies company which today sells PCs and related equipment, but which started out in 1987 selling self-designed firmware updates and hardware for the Commodore 64 and C128 8-bit home/personal computers.
CMD stopped selling Commodore products in 2001. In July of that year, production and sale of several of their products was taken over by Click Here Software Co. which as of 2006 is still manufacturing and marketing most of these products, although most have not been available for some time.
