Don't forget that with the filetype method you have the added advantage of
adding popup menu items to it.

O/S3.5 changed the names of the default icons used for a disk, though heaven
knows what the point of that was. Anyway, DOpus still uses the older
ENV:sys/def_disk.info whereas 3.5 uses ENV:sys/def_DF0.info or def_DF1, etc
for additional drives. All you need to do is duplicate def_DF0.info to
def_disk.info

For MSdos disks you'll need a filetype to replace the horrible icon builtin
the kickstart ROM as the def_PC0.info icon only works with workbench.

Name: Disk CrossDos ID: PCDISK Pri: 0

Disk MSD0

You can then select whatever icon you want to use, probably a good idea to use
"ENVARC:sys/def_PC0.info"
