Despite the code indicating the MAF, it appears that was not the issue.
I had done a quick check for spark the first day the car wouldn't start. I had at least some spark, but I noticed that the ignition wires said 94-42 on them. I bought this car in February with no records and figuring that that code might mean the 42nd week of 1994, I ordered new wires right away and they arrived today. After installing them, the car started, so I guess weak spark was my issue all along.
It says a LOT for the Volvo/Bogicord wires if they were 14 years old before they finally gave it up! I recommend a shorter replacement interval, however.
Thanks for all your help, Klaus and for others who had suggestions. Just goes to show that it pays to eliminate all the simple things first.
