Good advice. Back in 1993, I suffered the nVIR infection on my Plus. Had to use SAM 3.5.8 on every single floppy I owned. Took me 2 days to eradicate the virus. Turns out, the virus was on a Super Tetris game disk that I had purchased. Once I started using that disk, my computer kept bombing whenever I'd boot it with the boot floppies I had. Only ones it wouldn't bomb with, were the System 6.0.7 installation disks. Once I got rid of the virus, the Plus returned to normal and has been that way ever since. Only recently have I added a HD to it. So, I suspect that the original poster's problem is due to caps that are leaky, as you said. -J ++++ John H.
