What is incorrect?  The question wasn't about Mac OS X, it was about Mac OS. 
The closest thing to Mac OS that ran native on Intel was the early Rhapsody
releases.  Rhapsody was later released as Mac OS X Server, and eventually
Mac OS X 10.0.

"Star Trek" was the code name for the port of System 7 to x86, and least I
think that is the right version.
