Video soft font data was occupying a large amount of space in the HBIOS bank. This change moves the font data to a ROM bank by default.
Thanks and credit to @b1ackmai1er who provided much of the code that originated this change.

Removed ability from boot up (see ez80cpudrv.adm) to allow for setting of
external memory and io timing using eZ80's W/S config. All timings
must now be specified in terms of eZ80's Bus Cycle setting.
This is to increase compatibility with various external RCBus/RC2014
modules.
Due to eZ80 firmware changes, the configuration was always setting
the I/O Bus Cycle to the maximum setting of 7 - typically most system
will work fine at a setting of 4 B/C
current ez80 firmware version: 0.5.0.234 2025-06-21
- UNARC updated to UNARCU11 which fixes an edge case where the user number was being incorrectly changed. See #496. Thanks and credit to Lars Nelson for this.
For keyboard interface on I/O Multi board. Default is disabled. Requires interrupt #2 jumper set on I/O Multiboard, which is pin 11-12 in P5. Has limitations around port settings. Do not have a video card on my Duo so have been forcing a video driver to load and testing with PIP CON:=UR2: . Let me know what you think.
- Added RCEZ80 platform option to Build.ps1
- Added EZ80 config settings to MASTER config (required to get build to work for some situations)
- Modified a .EQU in cfg_RCEZ80.asm to a .SET. After adding config setting to MASTER config, the .EQU was causing a redefinition error.
- I have temporarily removed some "TRANSLATE" lines in ez80uart.asm. They were attempting to place a value greater that 0xFFFF in a register and generated an assembly error.
- Modified a few JR instructions in hbios.asm to JP due to out-of-range errors.
- Modified std.asm to "nest" a conditional. The Windows assembler does not ignore the remainder of a complex conditional when it should.
- Modified tms.asm to replace the PRTS macro with alternative lines. The Windows assembler cannot handle a string longer than about 8 characters in a macro argument.
- Added the TIMER utility to the ROM disk. Not sure what happened there. It was included in the Windows build, but not the Linux build. There is room for it, so I added it to the Linux build to get a binary exact build compare.
