Don't get me wrong.  I like to customize my Mac as much as anyone else, but
this seems counterproductive.  Rather than complain about the Jasmine driver,
I think you should appreciate the utility of having the SCSI address displayed
inside the icon, especially if you move disks around to different Mac's.  I
bet if someone came up with an INIT that did this for other drives, it would
be pretty popular.
