But I find little time to tinker with my SB180FX.

Oh! Is that the Board from Steve Ciarcia of Byte Magazine?
Yes. I did have a GT180 as well, but that didn't survive a faulty power connection (as did the SB180FX, but I managed to get replacements for all the chips on that board).
Was it a Hitachi
chip?
Yes, an HD64180.
I don't recall....and was it CP/M 3?
It was a CP/M clone called Zsystem.
At the time I worked for a computer manufacturer who occasionally sold surplus stuff to employees, so I had quickly added a 10MB (in words: TEN MEGABYTES ... ALL FOR ME!!!!) hard disk through an Adaptec host adapter, later a Quantum 40MB SCSI disk, but now it has a solid state SCSI flash disk. Also, as I feared that the floppies wouldn't last longer, I replaced the FDDs with a USB-Floppy-Adapter, allowing me to have almost all floppies online.
Memory fades.....
What was it we were talking about? ;-)
