I got the Z180 to recognize the floppy controller (yay!) but not the RTC (boo!). Clearly the mod I did to move it to I/O address 0x40 didn't work.
Fortunately, freed from having to replace the entire build, I can afford to replace the Flock with a Flock V2, which has configurable RTC I/O baked in, uses the same floppy controller chip and some of the same logic.
