Comments : If you are booting with an A.H.C. infeced disk the
virus copies itself (always) to the same chip-address

to stay resident.
Furthermore the virus patches the DoIO()-Vector to
infect other disks. The virus gives out messages if
you are booting with another disk. Here are some
examples:
NOTE : This virus was made with the help of the
Sherlock-AntiVirus-Boot. Just some Routines were
changed and the typical Sherlock-Texts were changed

of a LAMER or someone who can`t code good at all.
