3496.0. "VIRUSX - NOKLICKSTART interaction" by PERN::LONG () Sun Feb 18 1990 17:52

After weeks of looking for a virus, I finally found that VIRUSX V4.0 and
and one of these hacks to stop the drives from clicking were interacting
in my startup sequence and due to the times each tried to access my floppies,
they would ( >70% of the time ) crash my system.  This didn't happen with
earlier versions of VIRUSX.
	Guess which utility is going to get nuked!

    There was a utility which came across usenet a few days ago called
    tracksave.  It supposedly fixes a number of trackdisk device bugs and
    it also allows you to stop clicking on a per drive basis.  It also has
    a few other features like software driven write enabling a disk.  I
    think it fixes the bug where one drive light stays on sometimes if you
    are accessing both drives.
    
    I've been using it with Virusx4.0 for a few days and have had no
    problems.  If no one has posted this anywhere just ask and I'll copy it
    to one of the archives...
