This brings an old idea to my mind: enable the C64 and Z80 modes on the
C128 simultaneously.  According to the documentation, this is "forbidden",
but my test (several years ago, maybe 1994 or 1995) showed that this
combination probably enables both processors to run in parallel (with
address and data lines ANDed together).  I wanted to write a program that
runs on both processors.  This would require cycle exact timing, and I
don't know the exact bus accesses of the Z80 in the C128.  Has anyone
measured them e.g. with a logic analyzer?
