Talking of which: Is it easy to convert a simple sector-by-sector 120MiB 
disk image to the VMDK format used by VirtualBox?  I presume that it's a 
simple matter of writing a short description file that names the raw 
image file as a single, flat, extent.  A VirtualBox user should then be 
able to boot from it as a virtual machine with a single Parallel ATA 
disc using that image, yes?  That's certainly what the documentation 
leads me to believe.
