Enhanced density disk:  Yes, it could be done with minor modifications
  to the existing program.  No, as far as I know, it has not been done.

Single density disk:  I think it could be done, but would require
  substituting an assembly routine for code that usually resides in
  the BIOS ROM.  Not likely to end up being very portable, and probably
  not worth the effort.
