As far as I know, there was never a known
instance of a virus on an 8 bit machine.
"Elk Cloner" for the Apple II, according to Rich Skrenta went wild in
1982. Was written up very nicely in a Scientific American article in
March 1985 (good enough that I wrote a "me too" virus based on the
article.)
Very similar to what a IBM-PC guy would call "a boot sector virus"
(although really there's a little more than that in either the Apple II
or PC-clone cases.)
It would be interesting if any of the Apple II disk image archives, have
Elk Cloner or lookalikes in them. I once thought about automating such a
search as an addition over the effort to index the Apple II disk images
floating around on the net. Haven't thought of that in, oh, nearly 20
years now!!!
