Digital preservation / Sinclair QL

Starquest

Floppy IMG derived from archived files. Mount as FLP1 and boot from floppy. Tested in sQLux with Minerva 1.98a1 ROM and 2048 KiB RAM. Take-off worked; direction controls changed coordinates, attitude and sector. A complete mission and audio 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.
