Oh, boy!  I ought to know this one, but really don't.  I 
never tried to use it except on some kind of data cycle.
It could, possibly, depend on what implementation of the 
Z-80 you are using.  I built some battery-powered stuff 
using a Harris Z-80 clone that was all CMOS.  Some timings 
were a bit different from a Zilog Z-80.
