SB180 disks should read using standard PC FDC and the correct driver.
The problem is they did some weird sector layout but, the SB180 does
use a PC compatable controller (765 core). I can read my SB180 disks
on the Kaypro using 96tpi drives. It may be the disks you have are 48
tpi or they can be 96tpi (user option). I've migrated mine to 3.5"
drives.

No real difference for the most part. ZCPR3 improved the install process
and added a few utilities.
