Actually, no.
I was just "Bravo-ing" because it's funny how they had to hide their monikers amid the boot code of the disk to make sure the code still worked AND that you can still find them by Googling.

O-KAY, folks.
Got a couple gems for ya. I found, quite by accident, how to do Apple ][ boot tracing using some tricks on pages 21-23 of Hardcore Computist #4, and I used this trick to grab the boot sectors of the Bard's Tale 1 disk as would have been loaded using the Disk ][ ordering rather than the RWTS DOS 3.3 ordering.
First up is a memory dump with ASCII symbols, here.
Working on disassembling and commenting the boot frontend now.
