List Virus infected TOSEC disks?
I know there where times when some viruses slipped into TOSEC. I don't know if these are removed now or if they are still there?
Is there a list of which disks are infected, with which viruses? Is it possible to run a script to check all the disks inside? I use the TOSEC mostly with GOTEKs on A1000, which is much more convenient that browsing my ~2000 floppies collection, so not big risk. But I am also considering buying IDE to SD or IDE to CF adaptors and then these infected disks may bring some trouble in the future. |

Aren't the disks infected already tagged with the [v] tag ?
Like in this case http://grandis.nu/eabsearch/search.p...xclude=&limit= |

Exactly. If not, submit a correction the TOSEC corrections thread.

No point in removing them though since viruses are also a part of the history and should be preserved.

Exactly
TOSEC is a preservation project and i agree with the fact that disks can contain viruses |

I'm reminded of those movies where the CDC or equivalent have some nasty virus hidden away for research purposes and some terrorist gets a hold of it and makes an incurable plague.
