I'd like to have my hard drive have a different icon on the desktop
than the generic SCSI-diamond it has now. I've been doing it with the
Facade INIT, but I'd like to use fewer INITS (to free up more memory
for System 7's use), and I'd also like to have my hard drive show the
new icon when I mount it on another machine via Personal FileShare.
Is there any way to do this? I know it's possible to have a different
icon than what I've got now for the desktop and as a mounted volume;
how do I change it? Is there some resource that I just paste a new
icon into, or so I have to tinker with drivers, or what?

As the author of Facade, part of me wants you to keep using it. :) On the other hand, as a System 7 engineer I feel compelled to give you the answer you want to hear... :( Open the Get Info window for the hard disk and click on the icon (in the upper left corner). Paste a picture (or ICON, or whatever). Close the window. All done. Users who mount your disk (when you share it) will see the new icon. This can't be done while File Sharing is turned on, though. It won't let you change stuff like that while it's running. Greg Marriott Blue Meanie Apple Computer, Inc.
