HELP! Here in Montreal, Canada there seems to be a new Macintosh virus.
We had all the protection, but suddenly files were bad ( error -127),
some floppy got erased, some were ejected. We ran all public and
commercial anti viral software but even if some of them found a virus,
they didn't knew what to do with it. We cant even get a dump of it with
virex. We cannot reformat everything since the virus is deadly and very
virulent. A lot of hard disks are affected. We have to isolate it but we
do not even know where to start.

Right now, i'm writing a program to get data on the hd without mounting
it, since if i mount the hd, my boot floppy ( even if it's locked) will
get damaged! Where should i start?
