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. -JimC -- batcomputer!cloos@cornell.UUCP |James H.
