    Simply changing the IDs is not enough, as you guessed. You'll also need
to open the FREF resource and change the filetype it contains (from 'INIT'
to 'cdev'). Then, open the BNDL resource and change the ID numbers for
the ICN# and FREF that appear there (in the "Resource ID" fields) to -4064.
Finally, rebuild the Desktop file (or else copy the INIT to a blank floppy
and rebuild *its* Desktop file; much quicker).
