At its peak in 1992 the computer peripherals company employed about 75 people and sold $31.2 million worth of merchandise. In November of that year, two venture capital firms announced plans to invest $5 million in the hot little company. Great Valley, which built its business on peripherals for Commodore International Ltd.'s Amiga family of computers, planned to use the venture capital to help diversify its product line into peripherals for IBM-compatible personal computers. But the diversification came too late. Amiga-maker Commodore had already begun its downward slide that would lead to its bankruptcy last year. Great Valley brought one PC peripheral to market, a video capture board, but it was unsuccessful. Other PC products under development were abandoned as Great Valley's revenues and prospects sagged. A few months after the once $1 billion Commodore filed for voluntary liquidation in the spring of 1994, GVP's directors quietly decided to liquidate GVP.
