Been looking at the source code for SWTP 6809 Flex this past year. I can 
see no way that more than
one user could be using it at once. As others have said. it looks like a 
CP/M for '00 & '09.

No concept of user login at all. One terminal. Single tasking - no 
scheduler, Flex or the
program (singular) it launches owns the entire machine............etc
