Hi Butonic & Gandalf. Laufwerk DF0: is leider
beschÃĪdigt...
Comments : If you are booting with an ANGEL-infected disk the
virus allocates chip-memory, copies itself into this
address and patches the PutMsg & Wait vector from the
exec.library.
In the virus there is a programm error. If you are
reseting your AMIGA you will get an endless GURU. So:
No spreading !! The bootblock is crypted with a byte
depending of $DFF007-register.
