Great job but I was talking about the DOS3.3 page - identical to the ROM 
on the real floppy controller cards.

I think it should, but one issue is that a different page of the ROM is 
mapped in nibble mode. There should be a provision added to switch the 
address line so as to map in the "ProDOS" page that you have optimized.
In my design hitting reset on the Apple doesn't reset the AVR.
