[rescue] Solbourne stuff

[Michael S. Schiller]

Talking about old magazines... somewhere around here I have an issue of S-100
MicroComputing magazine that has a review of the original IBM PC, and the
article basically predicts that the machine will fail dismally due to the fact
that the motherboard contains the CPU onboard, rather than containing just a
bus like the S-100 machines of that day did :) Well, I guess they were wrong!
