And we have here variants that put the original MBR at 0,0,2 and
0,0,8. This is irrelevant. What is rellevant is that the problem with
Michelangelo occurs exactly because the "standard" Stoned variant put
the original MBR at 0,0,7 - at the same place as Michelangelo, and
because the two viruses do not recognize each other.
