Any disk or archive you come upon from the early 90's should be scanned for
viruses before use on a vintage machine. USe a modern PC as it's no biggie
to clean old viruses that way. Scan before you use on an older machine,
scan inside of ZIP files not just the zip itself. There were three viruses
that I found years ago on the most-often seen Maslin archive set. Old
stuff that's not an issue for modern machines.

Does that archive on classiccmp.org have the infected
images removed or
cleaned? (Just curious as I remember this came up in a couple other forums
that I think one or two of the images did have a virus).

Any chance you still have a copy of that CP/M port buried somewhere?
We're sort of collecting the various Cromemco ports and emulators.
Sorry Mike, I didn't think so but went through my diskettes anyway and no
go
- all CDOS. I do believe that there was a Cromemco CP/M in the Don Maslim
archives and another in the classicmp Dave Dunfield archives here
http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/img54306/system.htm. If all else
fails, I
have found a CROMCPM.TD0 file in my archives which is Teledisk format and
is
607Kb but I don't have a functional Teledisk at the moment so can't tell
what it represents. I'm not sure of the source but would be happy to
forward
it to someone with a functional Teledisk, or Dave Dunfield's converter TD0 to his IMD ImageDisk format.
