C-Ltd was founded in 1986 by the owner of CardCo, Ed J. Lippert II.

Hardware and software development (e.g. SCSI expansions) was done by Creative Microsystems in the first time, that part was taken over by SoftCircuits; some expansions were devloped solely by C-Ltd, though.

In 1989, C-Ltd was liquidated due to insolvency. Microdyn was offering follow-up support for SCSI systems after C-Ltd went down.
