They say the reason there are no viruses written for the Applle II is
because no one uses them. I have an old one that was wrtten in about 1985
if you would like to give it a try, it does not damage ProDos since it was
in pre-Prodos days, but it did do damage to tracks 1 and 2 on old Apple
Dos disks.
