Not so simple. I found my IEEE draft 8)

The address out comes from the chipset (southbridge now days). The
sequence is

BALE high
Output address
BALE low
Set IORC/IOWC etc

Wait for NOWS while watching IOCHRDY

NOWS low says - card now ready
IOCHRDY high suppresses the wait state timer count

The default timeout is 4 wait states, which is 6 bus clocks for a failure
Maybe 7 - Im not clear if the final cycle to recover and start again is
always there.

> The delay is something like 8 cycles @ 8.3 MHz or around 1 ms.

1uS ?
