from what I can gather, the HD20 will not work on a stock, standard 128k mac?

I can't find any contradicting evidence.
The minimum requirements seem to be 64k ROMs and 512KB of RAM, but 128k ROMs are better.

I had a Mac 128Ke (128K ROM) back in the 90's, and it worked fine with the HD20.

I would say the minimum requirements to use the HD20 natively is simply the 128K ROM.

If you have the 64K ROM, then you need to use the HD20 INIT, which requires 512K of RAM to load.

Hope that clarifies things.
