For the Z180 core you have to use the cpunum_get_reg/cpunum_set_reg functions to access the I/O lines. They're mapped as individual bits in a 32-bit psuedo-register. Bit of a strange design. Try the following:

Code:


{
    UINT32 iostate;

    /* Save current IO lines state */
    iostate = cpunum_get_reg(0, Z180_IOLINES);

//According to z180.c:
//#define Z180_CKA0  0x00000001 /* I/O asynchronous clock 0 (active high) or DREQ0 (mux)*/

    iostate &= ~1;
    iostate |= dreq0_state ? 1 : 0;

    cpunum_set_reg(0, Z180_IOLINES, iostate);

}
