That's what I figured out when I studied the AMaxII manual and the Amiga
manual. I actually bought Jeremy's idea of not mounting it in the beginning.
But in automounting drive, it cannot be done. He is nice to give us the tips
but not stating that not all drives are not automounting and not be done.
No flames to anybody, just to clear things up for people with automounting
drives and still wondering about the magic method to get rid of the icons.
