Well, given that so many people have said otherwise, I guess not.  However, it
is on my Paradise HD (an old serial HD).  That was where I originally found it.
It was in the manual of all places.  So, I guess that on newer drives it is in
the driver and on other drives it is in the ROMs.  Also, I remember reading
in some tech note that when the finder detects some drive that is not an
external floppy it will ask for an icon that should be stored in the drives
ROM.  I guess that has changed, or I am just plain wrong (won't be first time,
and I am sure it will not be the last (always hoping though)).

P.S.  I already uploaded the Binhex of the SCSI icon changer INIT, I hope you
find it and like it.
