Nope.  I'm pretty sure it wouldn't boot elsewhere -- since the volume
is being dynamically generated it is rather hard to prove that
assertion though.  You bring up a good point -- perhaps I could render
the virtual image into a file and try elsewhere if I cannot pinpoint
the issue -- though I've booted prodos on the emulator in disk form
before.
