I purchased a copy of ProDos from my Apple dealer, for about $50.
And it runs just fine on my Apple ][+.  

ProDos is designed to run in a pure Apple ][+, it will not boot in
an Apple that has had modifyed proms added.
In the PROM, my version of ProDos 1.0.1 looks for the words
"Apple ][", and in the disk drive it looks for a bit pattern in the
drive controller card to make sure it is an Apple card.
While looking at the disk controller it  determins if there is a ProFile
 or if it is a 5 1/2" disk drive.

ProDos can be modifyed to boot on just about anything.........
Once I brought it up on my Apple ][+ I modifyed it to run on
my Franklin and on my AVT-2, both of which run Apple Software.


So the answer that ProDos can only run on (in) a ][e or ][c is false!
