Various problems, maybe virus.

[Thorham]

Hi,

I've been having the follwoing problems for (too) many years:

1 The green component of the tenth color register almays set to max, causing colors to be displayed wrong.

2 The mouse pointer affects ham screens by changing ham palette colors.

3 The disk drive rattles and misbehaves after using the disk drive, including 'reading' from the drive during booting. This effect stops occuring after a while.

This is not caused by any patches/software, because it also happens when booting without a startup-sequence.

It's probably some mallware issue, because the described green bug doesent seem to happen if I turn off the system interrupts with a test program that writes all the different colors to screen. In other words, it seems possible to turn all this stuff off.

None of these effects were happening when I baught the Amiga.

Specs: A1200/KS3.0 Blizzard IV '30/no fpu/16 mb ram HD/CDRW

If anyone can help, it's greatly appreciated :great

Have you run VirusZ?

I'd say it is hardware fault, unfortunately.

I have seen some mysterious hardware errors like Amiga completely crashing if writing one to CIA parallel port data register bit but worked perfectly fine as long as that exact bit was zero :)

Yes, but no virus killer seems to recognize the virus, if it is one.

:shocked Very odd. So you're saying that when I turn of the interrupts, the problem can just disapear because of that, and not because some code isn't executed anymore? Well, I certainly hope this isn't the case :(

Thanks for your replies. Anyone else (plz,plz,plz :o)?

Doesn't anyone have/had similar experiances :shocked There must be simething that can be done about it :(
