Note

The afp.service file allows adding a "model" identifier string, this can be looked up on a Mac in /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Info.plist. The model identifier will make the device show a different icon based on the configured string.

Some valid codes are:

Windows
Windows2000
WindowsXP
Windows2003
WindowsVista
Windows2008
Macintosh
PowerBook
PowerMac
RackMac
Xserve
Macmini
iMac
MacBook
MacBookPro
MacBookAir
MacPro
AppleTV
iPhone
iPod
iPad
AirPort
TimeCapsule

There are many more codes available in /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Info.plist. To get them, convert the plist to XML using plutil:

plutil -convert xml1 Info.plist

and then load the plist with a regular text editor.
