Not that I can affort a hard drive, but have any >of you Amiga.docs made a vacine? If your using V1.3 Kick and a auto boot device (like CBM's A2090A), then your safe from the current rash of floppy viruses. Why? Well the 2090A boots from ROM's and I don't think a virus can infect them :-) As for wedgeing one into other bootable devices (ram drive(s) - networks), well thats possible. > >Andrew >[Evil Genius for a Better Tomorrow] ^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^ ^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ Seems like these two things go together like oil & water :-) -- Dan "Sneakers" Schein -= Sneakers Computing =- 2455 McKinley Ave West Lawn PA 19609 {ihnp4|allegra|burdvax|rutgers}!cbmvax!heimat!sneakers Call BERKS AMIGA BBS - 24 Hrs - 3/12/2400 Baud - 40Meg - 215/678-7691 Those who worked the hardest are the last to surrender.
