Seattle Computer Products, known as SCP, was a microcomputer hardware company based in Tukwila, Washington, and one of the first manufacturers of computer systems built on the 16-bit Intel 8086 processor. Founded in 1978, SCP began shipping its first S-100 bus 8086 CPU boards to customers in November 1979, about 21 months before IBM introduced its Personal Computer. SCP shipped an operating system for that hardware about a year before the release of the PC, which Microsoft modified for the PC and renamed IBM PC DOS. SCP was staffed partly by high-school students from nearby communities who soldered and assembled the computers.
