DMA Extended Bus Interface
Signal timings
Extended address space (EASI) timings
The Extended Address Space Interface (EASI) access
timings for cycle types A and C are as follows:

On future machines the DEBI may not use CLK16 as the
master clock. It is not therefore recommended that
CLK16 is used. The edge relationship of CLK16 to the
other interface signals cannot be relied upon for simple
state machine design. It is recommended that expansion
cards contain their own ‘on-board’ clock to synchronise
the interface signals.
