Zilog's Z80181 is essentially a Z80180 + 1/2 of a 85C30, this is
probably the device you were thinking of. I've used this beast and once
the initial quirks were out it worked quite well, 2.125 Mbit/sec over
twisted pair. [ It would also make a neat intelligent sync adapter card
for PC's with a bit of work in S/W and a PC bus interface ]
