The driver gets read in from the boot blocks of your SCSI device at boot time, so you won't be able to find it with ResEdit. For this job you need something more like MacZap or Fedit. You need to find out what the hex numbers of the icon and mask are and search for and change that string of numbers iin the driver reinitialization program that should have come with your drive. (Make a copy of the reinitialization program first! Backup your hard disk first!) then, reinstall the SCSI drivers with the changed reinitialization program. If you don't have a re-initialization program, you could try this by editing the driver in the boot blocks directly, but if you make a mistake you won't be able to boot your hard disk, and lacking a reinitialization program you won't be able to undo your work. You can't look for an icon resource with the drive picture in it because the drive picture icon is built into the driver, it is not a separate resource. A friend of mine used the above technique. He uses a desktop picture of a pheasant and plum tree and modified his DataFrame 20 icon into a plum hanging off the tree. --- David Phillip Oster --The Good News: I'm a perfectionist.
