OK.  Once and for all, tell me...

BYTE, Dec. 1990, pg. 136:  "Although many UNIX licensees are
well along in completing this task  [of porting the new UNIX
source codes to their machines], it appears that Commodore will
be the first to complete it."

This supports the conventional wisdom that CBM is first  (or
nearly first)  in SVR4 Unix release.  How does this jibe with
the availability of Intel Unix SVR4 systems that you mention
above?  Am I missing something?  Are these SVR4's released?
What is BYTE referring to?
