Message-ID: <4835@watdcsu.waterloo.edu> Date: 25 Jun 88 00:20:09 GMT Reply-To: debate2@watdcsu.waterloo.edu (Dave Oh) Distribution: na Organization: U. of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 9 Regarding the new 1.3 Autobooting devices... Couldn't you autoboot using 1.2? If you think about it, that's what a virus does, correct? If there is a WB disk in DF0: upon bootup, it will infect the disk, and if not, _it will show that "Your Amiga is alive" message_. Now, instead of printing the method, jump to a subroutine that would simulate the autoboot process. Is this feasable? If so, how easy/hard would it be to implement? :::> Dave Oh debate2@watdcsu.waterloo.edu
