So you reply to an 18 year old thread, don't quote what you are replying 
to, and can't even get it right?

SWTP, Southwest Technical Products, created the SS50 bus, and was best 
known for 6800 systems.  Of course, GIMIX also used the same bus, though 
their 6800/6809 systems were generally a lot more expensive than SWTP.

I don't recall Godbout ever making SS50 computers.  They of course were in 
teh kit and parts business, then branched into computers, they were 
talking about a computer using the National 16bit CPU in the fall of 1975, 
but despite a contest, that computer never came to market.They also 
reached into the "IBM PC" era, though it's hard to keep track since George 
Morrow had his own business making boards but I thought started with 
designing Godbout boards.  Godbout even had a 68000 board, I think.
