SCR 2 BMP — Norman Dunbar

Floppy IMG derived from archived files. Mount as FLP1 and boot using Minerva 1.98a1 ROM, 640 KiB emulator RAM and Toolkit II 2.32. Converted a MODE 4 QL screen to a 65,654-byte BMP. An independent decoder confirms equality of all 512×256 RGB pixels. MODE 8 and batch conversions were not tested. Basic functional check in sQLux, not full validation or a physical-hardware test. Audio untested. ROMs are not included.
