Rich:
There are several DOS3.3 mods that allow you to boot a 'disk' from a 
ProDOS volume.

Lemme think...  OK that's not working, Lemme look some up...

DOS 3.3 Launcher
Source: http://www.apple2.org/faq/FAQ.dos.prodos12.html
"A somewhat workable solution is to use DOS 3.3 Launcher. It lets you
copy unprotected DOS 3.3 140K disks to your hard drive, and run DOS
3.3 under ProDOS. Such functionality does have some requirements,
though: programs must only use 48K of RAM (the upper 16K is reserved
for ProDOS, which is running at the same time), not do any copy
protection or disk hackery, and generally behave themselves. DOS 3.3
Launcher is available from the normal Apple II ftp sites:
ftp://apple2.caltech.edu/pub/apple2/utils/dos3.3.shk "

Weird, I can't seem to find the other two I was thinking of.  One was 
for storing files on a 3.3 disk form ProDOS, the other is a utility that 
came with the Focus drive that made a DOS 3.3 launching partition.  (If 
memory serves which it usually doesn't.)

Thankx,
Ed
