[rescue] OT: Solaris for Intel

[James Fogg]

O/S9 is an RTOS that has a port for the 680X0 Motorola VME SBC's. I used to work
for a company (Terminal Data Corp) that manufactured super-high-speed page
scanners that used a VME cage and O/S9.

I don't know if the O/S9 for the COCO was the same thing, as that had a GUI (I
have seen it and have a friend that still runs it).

The O/S9 I know smells a lot like a cross between CPM and Unix. And this goes
back to the late 80's (probably around before that too).
