     Our Robot Odyssey disk seems to boot and run okay on the GS.
Perhaps the diskette you are using is damaged or the 5.25" drive needs
to be cleaned.

     It is not clear what you are trying to get around. What emulator
are you booting on which machine? On an Apple II, there should be no
need to boot an emulator.

     If you are running an Apple II emulator program on a PC or Mac, you
need to be 'booting' disk image files, not actual diskettes.

     For sure; a screen full of machine code rates kind of low on the
Game Excitement Scale!
