     Comments     : The Target-Virus is one of these viruses which I can`t
                    analyse  properly.  The  virus copies itself to $7EC00
                    and  stays  resident  over  the CoolCapture. After the
                    next reset the virus patches the DoIO()-Vector.

                    This  routine  is very confusing. I don`t know exactly
                    what  it  does  or should do. The only thing I can say
                    about it,  is  that the virus doesn`t infect disks but
                    scans the rootblock of the disk. 


                    Only  DD-Disks  will be affected. After that the virus
                    test  if  the  disk  name contains of special letters.
                    This  letters  will be overwritten and the rest of the
                    tracks after block 880 will be overwritten with memory
                    garbage.

                    I  think  this  "virus"  was written to damage special
                    disk from special person(s).
