yes-- as I noted to Josh in a private message, SWTBUG would be required
to run the MP-S as the console. The original SWTPC 6800 design used
MIKBUG and the console interface was an MP-C. SWTBUG was released later
as an upgrade ROM and it could support either an MP-C (original equipment)
or an MP-S (upgrade) as the console.
So, you really need to confirm which monitor ROM the system has to decide
what you can or need to do for the console interface.

I have a SWTPC 6800, but it came with the MP-C. I was thinking of
building an MP-S with an additional baud rate clock, to get a higher
speed than the MP-C.
I may have a spare MP-C. You do know that SWTBUG/MKBUG will operate
an MP-C in slot 1? You don't "need" an MP-S to get your 6800 up.
