SB180 Micromint (in CT), circa 1985 and featured in both BYTE September
and october 1985 (byte back issues is still available).

The SB180 is a 64180 (z180) with 32k Eprom, 256k of dram and floppy
controller for 8/5.35/3.5" drives on a really small card. Very low power
and runs CPM. There was a piggyback board that added a 300baud modem and
NCR 5380 scsi chip, mine only has the SCSI. Most were clocked at a cpu
speed of 6mhz but 9mhz was possible with a fast chip. Good little board.
I have mine stuffed into a old PS2/25 case using the 3.5" floppies (780k)
and a Xybec scsi controller that's twice the size of the sb180 card!
