A couple comments.
a) If your disk doesn't have a "disk.info" file on it, then it will use the
default disk icon, which is a floating icon, and just looks for the next
open slot for disk icons. Those slots seem to start at the top right
corner on the screen, and work their way down. When that get's full, the
system jumps up to the left of the top one, and starts down again (I have
a RAM:, RAD:, VD0:, two HD partitions and three floppy drives, so I can get
well into comun two!)
b) However, if you copy a Disk.info file onto that disk BEFORE it mounts,
you can snapshot that icon to a specific spot. In fact, I copy custom
Disk.info files to my memory-based disks (RAD:, RAM: & VD0:) in my
startup-sequence to do just that.
c) Double-however — if another disk icon is in the same place, or even too
close to the spot you snapshotted, and comes up first, the system will bump
the icon to a new slot to keep them from overlapping.
So, I easily do what you want. Just play around with it a bit.
