-->> The Why-did-I-do-this BlahBlah
You are one of the lucky ones (like me) that bought that nice Iomega ZiP drive?
Probably, you weren't able to find a really nice, not too big, Magic Workbench (XEN)
style icon for it.
Well, here it is! Frustrated as I was with the standard disk-icon appearing on my
WorkBench, I decided to draw my own. An hour (yes, an HOUR!) later, it was there.
-->> Disclaimer
If this file damages your computer, I am Bill Gates. :-)
By the way, it's Send-Microsoft-a-Mail-Bomb-Ware. Or something like that. Eheh.
-->> "Installation" is a big word
To use the icon, just copy the "disk.info" file in this archive to the root directory
of a pre-formatted (blank, or almost full, no problem) ZiP-diskette.
After that, reboot your Amiga and see... It actually works! :-)
-->> Requirements (or what you need to display this icon file)
* Amiga computer, with a TV set or a monitor. I guess.
* Iomega ZiP-drive although I can imagine that you like it so much, that you will even
use it for all your other devices. If you're that nuts, all I can tell is that it
still works!
* Magic WorkBench 2.0. Older versions have a brighter palette, looking less stylish.
This Icon pack (by Martin Huttenloher) is available on Aminet, and is shareware.
* 1x1 resolution. That means that the pixels have to be squares, not just rectangles.
On a normal monitor or TV, use Hires Laced. MultiSync (M1438S) owners should use
DBLPAL, Multiscan Productivity or something like that.
* The right palette. If MagicWB is installed, it has to be okay.
-->> How to contact me
In case you want ZiP-icon support, you can contact me at:
lrvk@euronet.nl
For more useful things, like sending a nice e-mail, you can also contact this address.
-->> Who am I?
I'm Laurens, known as Radium, member of "Oops!" in the Amiga demo-scene.
My jobs are gfx and (techno!)-music. We are currently working on a demo and
two music-disks. Available at Aminet in the not-so-distant future.
Maybe I can tell you a lot more about myself, but I think it's about time
to start copying that tiny piece of art to your most exotic SCSI-device.
Good luck. See ya.
-->> Known bugs
When you delete the disk.info file, the icon is gone. So don't. :-)
