South West Technical Products
South West Technical Products Corp (SWTPC) was an electronics design and manufacturing firm that created the SWTPC 6800 computer and later the SWTPC 6809. The computers ran both FLEX, OS-9 and UNIFLEX. The kernels and device drivers are available in the Evenson Consulting Services SWTPC 6800/6809 Emulator.
Most of the OS-9 utilities on the embedded disk images come from the Color Computer distribution. The kernel, bootstrap code and device drivers can be created from the OS-9 Source code package, however.
