The icon family for folders and disks is stored in an Icon resource file inside
the folder/disk. What you can do is to paste an icon into the get-info box, and
then open the Icon file and modify or replace the icons. The ID of the icons
is -16554 or something around that (sorry, I don't have IM-VI or System 7
nearby). For files, the icon family is stored inside the file's resource fork,
and the same ID is used.
