[comp.sys.mac] Ugly Icon

war@abnji.UUCP (12/28/86)

Is there a way to change the scsi drive icon?
(the one that kinda looks like a "G"-shaped diamond)
(or is it a diamond shaped "G"?)

I have a Warp 9 30mb drive and I believe
there is an invisible(?) boot block somewhere?
I looked all over with ResEdit to no avail.
It's not even in the desktop file.
Maybe I'd like it better if I knew what it was
supposed to be.

The icon is not in the boot block or the desktop file.

The Finder gets the SCSI drive icon from the SCSI driver.  Each SCSI
manufacturer tends to use their own icon.  I forget the exact # to use,
but you can create an ICN# in the Finder and the Finder will it use in
place of the one in the driver.
