There are no pages in ADL mode.
In ADL mode, the CPU’s multibyte registers are expanded from 16 to 24 bits. A 24-bit
Stack Pointer Long (SPL) register replaces the 16-bit Stack Pointer Short (SPS) register.
For more information on the CPU registers in ADL mode, see
In ADL mode, all addresses and data are 24 bits. All data READ and WRITE operations
pass 3 bytes of data to and from the CPU when operating in ADL mode (as opposed to
only 2 bytes of data while in Z80 mode operation). Thus, instructions operating in ADL
mode may require more clock cycles to complete than in Z80 mode. Although MBASE
does not affect operation during ADL mode, the MBASE register can only be written to
when operating in ADL mode.
