I am yet to add some missing z80 instructions but banked memory is already supported and when I create the webservice interface, the payload will be delivered via the API not loaded from the folder.

You will be able to add as many z80s to your cluster as you like.  On this slow use server its about 3x faster than 4mhz z80 and not yet optimized. And I can run multiple at the same time on that server without noticeable slowdown.

You will be able to setup virtual z80 machines (basically coprocessors with memory), and call them many times until either you deregister them or they time out. 

Code something for cpc run it locally if no internet,  or... offload code to the virtual z80 if online with minimal code differences.

I am awaiting my 2nd cplink card so I can finalize an API to support a few variants of offloaded capabilities.

1. Virtual z80s either hosted online or on your own webserver

2. CPLink support leveraging off the existing PI side software to use megabytes of RAM and some other features it has, not yet a virtual CPU but I am looking at options for this too.

3. And of course utilizing the resources of multiple networked CPCs connected to the same network.

Resources: cpu, ram, audio, storage, speech etc ..

All from a unified programming model.
