Here's what I have (in order of importance):
	Hitachi HD64180 Series 8-bit Microprocessor Programming Manual
		#U92 (Hitachi manufactures the 64180)
	Zilog Z80 CPU Centrall Processing Unit Technical Manual
		#DC-0029-04 (Zilog makes the Z180)
	Zilog Z80180/Z8S180 Product Specification
		#DC 2609-00 (discusses Z180 microprocessor)
	Zilog Z80 User's Manual
		#DC 8309-00
	Zilog Z80 Product Specifications Databook
		#DC 8321-00 (overview of Z80 and what you can do with it)

If you have the first book, you should be well off. The second book might
also be useful. Both contain the full asm language of the Z180/64180.

BTW, the SS uses a 64180 (basically a Z180).

Actually, I'm going to start on one this week. Email me if you want to
see the specs.
