If so, do you have FAST memory. I have the "ByteBandit" virus (which I got for the purpose of testing), and it won't work on my machine with the FAST memory enabled. (gives a GURU #4, at address 1902 immediately upon booting the disk). However, it does work without the FAST memory... Is this true of all the ByteBandits, or just my 'strain'? Could be that the best protection against the ByteBandit is having Expansion Memory. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chad 'The_Walrus' Netzer -> AmigaManiac o ______ _ _____ o ' / / ' ) / /) ' / /_ _ / / / __ // __ . . _ / / /_(<_ ___(_(_/ (_(_(/_/ (_(_/_/_) "Nonsense is still 5/8 sense."
