You can add a ICN# 129 (I believe, either that or 128) to the DeskTop file of any given disk and that icon will replace the disk icon show by the finder for that one disk. You can then customize each disk you own to have its own icon. No special Init needed, etc, and yes this trick still works in system 6. There is also an init that can be used to change the icon for a hard disk as well (since the icon for it is stored in the driver code, rather than being a default icon). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = "Whether you like it, or don't like it, sit | - gandreas@ub.d.umn.edu - = = back and take a look at it, because it's the | Glenn Andreas = = best going today!
