[rescue] OT: Solaris for Intel

[Ken Hansen]

OS/9 did run on the RS Color Computer - quite well as I understand it...

OS/9 has been around for a long time - I believe it pre-dated the Color
Computer by a few years... I think it ran on SWTP 6800/6809 boxes for a
number of years before the Color Computer was released...
