I've got a couple of spare 8088s at home I can try out, but if the V20 is dead, I won't have access to my ZIP drive.

Sounds like you've got yours rigged to the hilt -- so a short out isn't too unlikely... Though from what I remember just having the sidecar was running the risk of frying it -- like the RAM packs on the old Sinclair or Trash-80 MC-10... or the original TRS-80 model 1 expansion interface.
WAY off topic:
I'm sitting here looking at my testbed tandy 1k's, and I was thinking on putting a V20 in them and pimping them out with all sorts of extra hardware -- but find myself asking "why?"
The POINT of having a retro-computer is to have the original computer in it's original working order... Why turn it into something it's not when I have a i7 870 rig sitting next to it? That's all I keep thinking when I see the PC Jr to Tandy mods -- at that point why not just get a Tandy, you can usually pick up a working 1K for around $50... which is usually less than all these changes to make the Jr. more compatible does.
But then I remember how much fun I have digging around in a machine's guts... Like what I've been doing with my original 4k Coco giving it the extended color basic ROM, a CoCo 2 extended keyboard, composite out, inverse video, 64k on a board designed for 16 max, etc, etc...
