Cable Puzzel

Floppy IMG derived from archived files. Mount as FLP1 and boot from floppy. Tested in sQLux with Minerva 1.98a1 ROM and 640 KiB RAM. Game setup and timer start worked. The first cable piece rotated compared with an otherwise identical control run. Completing the path, winning and high-score saving were not tested. Basic functional check, not a complete test or a test on physical QL hardware. Audio and saving are not certified. The timestamp is that of the IMG in the Working package, not the acquisition date of original media.
