Restricting 5.25" drive 2 icon

A few days ago I posted:

I received the following e-mail reply:

I then tried a number of expirements where I changed the original
$010E to $0108, $0104, etc., and still saw two 5.25" icons when I
rebooted, however, when I changed the aux type to $0103 I saw only one
icon.

My e-mail then said:

So the question on the floor is:

Where can I get/buy Snooper DA &/or Exerciser DA?

If they are on some ftp site I'd appreciate full pathnames since I
tend to wander if not directed absolutely!

I've looked at Apple.com and ground and didn't find these two
files. My informant says that they are either on GEnie (could not find
them), or on the System 6 CD. Anyone know were they are?

Kind Regards,
