Thanks in advance. The icons _are_ in the device drivers, but probably just stored as bits in memory. It you are truly gung-ho about this, you can trace through a call to the driver (control call, csCode=22) to see where it stores the icon. (The call is documented on IM V-470). Once you find the icon, you would have to build an appropriate icon in ResEdit, write down the hex, and patch up the driver. Personally, I think turning the monitor would be easier :-) >Paul Christensen Bob Hablutzel BOB@NUACC.ACNS.NWU.EDU

I would like to compile a list of Ftp site for macintosh software. This list will be posted to this news group on completion. If you know of any sites connected through most any network, please send them to me at: strausd@romana.cs.orst.edu I don't know our BITNET or other addresses for here as of yet. In that case posting should also do fine.

You could also write an INIT resource that patches _Control and looks for csCode 22 calls and returns your icon. This is probably better than patching the driver because it would work with all your disks. Tim Smith
