- Er, well, the solution is in the manual we *did* give you: you just fire up
- IconEdit and create one! :-)

- Sorry, I know that wasn't the answer you wanted. The "official" HD icons
- are not really stored anywhere in the system like the five default icon
- types are. They are just on the HDs you get from us (or that you prepare
- with our SW). You could copy the disk.info file from the HD of someone
- with 2.0, if you don't feel artistically inclined.
-
- As for not getting a full manual set, I've been accepting net.wrath for that
- cost-cutting measure recently (on behalf of those actually responsible, I
- mean). We're working on a way for you to be able to acquire the manuals
- you did not receive with the A1200.
