Looking at this Z80 datasheet (page 20 of the PDF) the timing diagrams
say the /WAIT signal is sampled on the falling edge of clock state T2.
If it is active, additional cycles are introdced between T2 and T3. This
only occurs on op-code fetch, memory reference, input-output and
interrupt acknowledge cycles.
