Hello, Kirill!

There are no glitches. Let it be.

It’s not documented.

Well, another addition! :)

8[ ] With such a time, even at 3.5 WAIT is needed! :)

Here is what is said about this in the document that I have on the 512VI1:
"With a supply voltage of +5V, the write cycle time is at least 1 μs (this includes
the time for setting the address and the time of the actual recording/reading)."
If you believe this, then even in the turbo everything will be OK!
Unfortunately, timing diagrams are not given. :(

And then, if you paid attention, there was a scheme for finalizing the “HD” and
turbochargement of the Penta (and some things there concerned not only the Penta) from AXLR. So,
there it was recommended to extend the /IORQ signal in turbo mode not only
for
VG93, but also for other devices. (For me this extension is not done only for the
controllerscrew.)

All the best.
Sincerely, Roman.

Error - actually 200 nanoseconds (for Dallas).
