I was infected by te Music bug virus from an SVGA utility disk from
Taiwan that I got from my local dealer when I bought a new machine
from him.  The infection occurred when I accidentally booted the disk
in my old 286 (thankfully beloning to my employer).  It is now in the
shop, as it will not show signs of recognizing the CMOS.  This might
be a coinsidence.  In any case, I got SCAN71, and it does not dectect
the virus.  Mapping with PCHSELL shows the MusicBug v1.06, MacroSoft
Corp message in sector 52 of disk 1 and in sector 30 of uitility disk
2.  This virus is there.  And Scan71 doesn't find it, opinions to the
contrary.
