 Possibly - Although Cubix was originally designed to be the OS for my 
 main
 computer, and by that fact is pretty close to what I envisioned. It 
 was however
 done 25+ years ago, and there is room for improvement. I'd wait until 
 some
 more people have gotten into it and see what feedback develops.

A workaround for the floppy dataseparator would be very nice...

Theres a design on the net for a decent digital one that was from 
a NEC apnote.  Someone found it a while back and I didn't copy 
the URL.  If no one finds it I can with extreme pain scan the 
apnote published by NEC and also appeared in EDN May 13 1981.

If that isn't available there is a simple but usable data sep that was 
used on the IBM XT FDC based on a TTL counter chip or two.
