I got a GVP Impact A500 Hard drive for Christmas, and I had a thought that any
of you budding Hardware makers might want to scribble down.

	"When you make a hard disk install script - don't assume I will 
	want to use your system set-up.  Ask me for my workbench diskette
	and use it as much as possible (like preferences, c: directory,
	libs: directory, etc.).  Just copy in the stuff from your setup 
	that you need."

Also, a question for the AmigaDOS gurus;

	"How do I change the damn disk Icon for the GVP HD?"

I have tried using the Imagemaster program and other Icon generating programs I
have used for other Icons, but when I try to save the damn Icon I've drawn for
the Hard Disk, it only reverts back to a dresser lokking thing with 3 drawers
on it (BUT,... the actual disk Icon that shows up on the screen is just a Blank
floppy Icon).  I have also noticed that when I take a snapshot of the Hard Disk
root window (the one I get when I first double-click on the HD Icon) it doesn't
last after a reboot.

Help me please...
