Hi,

I am not really a coder, but you can always try to look at 
http://baze.au.com/misc/z80bits.html It's a collection of z80 math 
routines, all commented, it's done by Baze/3SC - Spectrum demo coder.

Just for an inspiration. Anyway, it's really great to read such a stuff 
here on the list, pretty inspirative!

Sometimes you have to take the unconventional route when optimising for 
"old-skool"
hardware!  Textbook methods are fine if you have the horsepower - if 
not, then you're
going to have to look at pulling out all the tricks you can.  :-)
