Introduction

Nanowasp is an emulator for the Microbee series of computers. It allows the original Microbee software to be executed on a modern computer. Currently Nanowasp supports only the Monochrome 128k Disk System model, but the software is designed with support for other models in mind.

Development of Nanowasp was simplified thanks to the following projects:

• wxWidgets
• libdsk
• TinyXML
• libz80
• Cpmtools
