Those of us who are part of the Commodore International Historical Society group on Facebook have been blessed with plenty of business reports and similar internal documents lately (though not very much technical stuff) and it is clear that the 264 series was a money hole that Commodore didn't know what to do with by 1985/86. Is the R4 more reliable than previous revisions, which would explain why they kept revising it (at low cost, hopefully) as part of getting the remaining stock on market instead of writing it off as losses?
