Hello out there. I am in the process of attempting to write a disk
cataloging utility (yes, another one). I would like to be able to display
the icons of any hard disks present on the system, and I just can't figure
out how to get the icon.  I know it is somewhere in the driver, but since
the finder is able to display the icon, there must be some method of asking
the driver for the icon. I tried using the Control call documented in IM-4,
but had no success. I know it is described as for the HD-20 only, but I
figured it couldn't hurt. It is also possible I wasn't setting up the
parameter block properly.

If anyone out there knows how to do this, please share some (fairly
specific) instructions with me.

			Thanks,
				Dave
