There have been a few comments about VirusX causing GURUs when used with the
CBM A590 hardrive for the Amiga 500.
Is this with any real problem????
I downloaded VirusX-4.zoo from mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu (amiga/virus directory).
I noticed the VirusX docs referring the a verion of KV which isn't in the
zoo file???
I installed it on my SYS: partition, and added the command VirusX to my
S:startup-sequence, and it appears to work fine (not that I have any viruses).
System setup:
A500 with A501 ram/clock
A590 with 2M of RAM
A590 reinstalled disk with 3 partitions, using the A590 setup
software with Workbench 1.3.2 and Extras 1.3
Misc PD software (arp.library, Dmouse/Dlineart, Noclick3.5
mymenu, etc. installed)
Perhaps the problems were similar to Excellence's in which installing 1.3.2
should fix them. I haven't seen a guru in a while...
For those A590 owners looking for RAM, I purchased mine from "The Chip Merchant"
for $158.50 total including 2nd Day UPS COD charges.
16- CMOS 256Kx4/80nS DIPs @$9.50 each
UPS 2nd Day UPS @$6.50.
They have a toll free number (800)426-6375
otherwise (619)268-0874

except as a happy customer.
I have no affiliations with computer viruses at all.
