Was waiting to see all different colors of iMac G3 in the high resolution device icons, but alas. I believe those icons are used in Network places if a device with a known model is on the local network. The BSOD device would represent Windows PCs with network shares, of course! I also recall seeing the Xserve icon for a qnap NAS on our network.

I believe these images are also used in the "About This Mac" window, although of course most highlighted in the article are long obsolete by now.

  This is correct - if you use OpenCore Legacy Patcher[0] to get a newer version of macOS onto an older device, it will identify the old device correctly. [0] https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/ https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

Yes, Samba's vfs_fruit module (which has options for better interoperability with Mac OS) has the fruit:model setting lets you select which icon it will show up as. You can make it look like any Mac model or Apple TV or iPhones etc. Setting it to the string RackMac or Xserve should get that icon. Somebody pulled all the icons and their codes out here: https://callumgare.github.io/macos-device-icons/ https://callumgare.github.io/macos-device-icons/

That would be wild if you could see what color a network-connected computer was...
