Cards to add other CPUs to PC are many. At any time there were:
8751 (multiples for Mandelbrot calulations)
Z80
Other X86
Z8000
68000
16032
T-11 (PDP-11)
All come to mind. Many had no OS as they relied on the host processor for
support.

My original intent was limited to OSs that were
operable on PCs. If
there is OS/9 for PC then by all means but I'd suspect comparison would
be to unix/linux rather than Dos/win.
Circuit Cellar had a Z8000 and on card for the PC once. Does anybody
remember
just what it ran? Other than 386's was there any other add on cards for
the PC?
