This time PARADOX bringsyou the "LOGIC BOMB" Virus !
Comments : The Paradox 1 virus is a very harmless one. If you
are booting with an infected disk the virus copies
itself to address $7F800 and changes the KICK-
Vectors to stay resident in memory. After the next
reset the virus patches the DoIO()-Vector to infect
other disks. After the 1st infection the virus
additionally patches the ZERO-Page ($6C). This patch
increases a value by 1. If this value reaches 30000
the virus executes an endless-routine by showing
some collors on the screen.
