I did a little research and this is the latest item I could come up with:

Looks like the company was sold off piecemeal. Micropolis was bought by
Singapore Technologies (still in business) in 1996, and then ST filed
bankruptcy in late 1997. Micropolis was one of the casualties.

Subject: Micropolis corporation aftermath.
Hi,
I have tried to search but this turns up very little on whatabouts of
this Micropolis death and there must be somebody who picked up all
that assets including patents. A company can't be disappeared into
thin air without a bang or grabbed up after the crash of doors.
This info would be nice to know where that went to.
At one point Micropolis *was* good maker but fell apart from QC
downfall.
Any stories on Micropolis stuff is great too.
The website name is still held and still paid for by somebody.
www.micropolis.com but nothing there so you get redirected to
another hosting webpage business. Otherwise that name would be for
sale.
Cheers,
Wizard
