Colorizing ProDOS HD icon

[Byte Knight]

Anyone know where the resource for the ProDOS HD icon resides in System 7.5.5?  You can't do a simple cut and paste to that icon.  I hate having B&W icons on my LC III!  

I was able to colorize my server icon at least with a simple cut and paste...

PC Exchange is what usually provides the ProDOS file system driver in 7.5.5. Older systems used the "ProDOS File System" extension that came with the IIe Card software.

That isn't the icon from PC Exchange, so I'm guessing it's the extension in this case?

I don't see any extension for PC Exchange.  It's not contained in the control panel.  One would think it would be in the ProDOS File System extension but it's not there either.  I've looked in the System and Finder files with ResEdit without any luck too...

I know ProDOS floppies get a special icon with the "II" on them. It was even updated to the later style in OS 8.x. I had assumed the resource came from whatever extension/control panel was handing the file system. The reality is its rare to have Apple Partition Map formatted drives on actual Apple IIs since only the Apple SCSI cards and the RamFAST SCSI card used APM defined drives. (The Apple II has no native concept of hard drive partitions) The only folks who see these special ProDOS drive icons are IIe card users.

The icon may not be your typical icon resource.  It could be an embedded PICT hidden in code somewhere, and would require using ResEdit / HEX editor to convert it from hex to a picture file.

That's what I was wondering since I can't seem to find the icon resource anywhere...
