Type: Forum topic , Comments: 7 comments
I have programmed a CPLD to insert additional waitstates to the Z80 to slow down I/O access. The additional waitstates can be set from 0 (disabled) to 255.
As a test I just let the Z80 run on 10MHz and play with number of needed extra waitstates to get a properly working screen.
Some findings I can use ...
