On an SE the physical Icons are little SE's w/ arrows pointing to the top
or bottom drive--or so has been posted before.  I've yet to find out what
it looks like on a Plus, though.  Hey, What the hell, wait a few min while
I find my working sys 6.0 disk and try booting it on one of the macs here.

OK, OK so it was longer that a sec!  :-)

Anyway, this is what I found after I searched out a copy of ResEdit
recent enough to edit the LAYO resource easily:  It appears that
the MacPlus script has no distinct phys icons for the plus's internal
and external drives.  Oh well.
