I've never seen a virus written for the Intel or Windows hardware and 

OS run on an Amiga or Mac 

Do Office macro viruses count? 

I doubt very seriously that there is any compatability in the two computer 

systems, making any virus meaningless noise.

That reminds me of jokes about ID4.
Maybe, maybe not. I've read speculation that it is possible to create viruses 
that consists of instructions for a processor. These instructions would be 
impossible to finish yet be written in a way to disguise that fact from the 
processor. The result: the processor executes the instructions and keeps 
executing them, not knowing that the effort is futile. Dead processor.
Written in sufficiently high-level code, this kind of virus is platform 
independent.
If the Abh computer systems came with universal translators (like every 
one else's) they might even be able to traslate such a set of instructions 
from plain Japanese into Abh computer code and then execute them- all 
faster than its users can comprehend what has happened!
The biggest shortcoming of such a virus I can see is that it has no routine 
for damaging stored memory, those are hardware specific. All a victim 
would have to do is flush the system's active memory and the virus is gone.
