Doesn't work, since the speed of the Z80 (and even the interrupts) varies w=
ith
battery power, room temperature, room humidity and even the gas constant.

The simplest way to make a clock, if you still want to try it, is of course=
 to
write a delay loop. You'd want to know the amount of clock cycles used by e=
ach
instruction in the loop, times the number of times the loop is executed. Th=
en
you can put loops inside loops to make the delay longer, etc. The problem i=
s, in
this case, that the frequency of clock cycles varies.
