Hi,
  This may be a little out of this list, but I'm having troubles on my
PC.  I believe it must be a virus. When I swap a MS-DOS disk in drive
A: (or in drive B:), and ask for a dir or for a file, it verifies the
disk, but keeps giving me the dir and treats the disk as if it was the
first one I had in the drive. This limits me to only two disks each
time I turn the machine on, and if I swap a disk and write to it, DOS
writes to it as if it was using the first disk, and crashing the info
of the second disk.
  Has anybody had a similar experience? I'm not using any kind of
Diskcaching or something like that, and by using the vaccines I have
(pro-scan, scan100, devirus and m-jrslem), they say there's nothing
wrong with any of my disks.
  Does anybody have a vaccine against this? Since I'm not subscribed
to the list, I'd appreciate a lot if you could mail me directly.
Thanks.
