z80pack release 1.38

z80pack release 1.38 is pretty much ready for release. This improves many many things, but a few things might be very interesting for Dave,

The CPU cores are much better isolated now, to support building machines on bare metal. The release includes an example machine, I have build with a Raspberry Pi Pico. Not one single byte in the core sources need a change to build the PC versions and the bare metal one.

Also the Mostek ICE was isolated, so that it optionally can be included on bare metal, good for debugging Z80/8080 code right in the machines. Also doesn't require any changes in the mainstream code.

I believe this also should help to keep your ESP32 version in sync with mainstream z80pack, if anything else is needed just let me know.

Then for the fun of it I build another little 8080 machine, which is derived from z80pack, you'll find this one here:

Might be another good project for teaching.

Best regards,
Udo

Happy hacking,
