64H |
PC-ARMOUR protected partition
(64H is used by PC-ARMOUR disk protection by Dr. A. Solomon, intended to keep the disk inaccessible until the right password was given and then an INT 13H hook was loaded above top-of-memory that showed C-H-S = 0-0-2, with a copy of the real partition table, when 0-0-1 was requested). |

Novell NetWare 3.86, 3.xx or 4.xx
(Novell Netware 3.0 and later versions use one partition per drive. It allocates logical Volumes inside these partitions. The volumes can be split over several drives. The file system used is called Turbo FAT and it only very vaguely resembles the DOS FAT file system. Novell Netware used to be the main Network Operating System available. Netware 68 or S-Net (1983) was for a Motorola 68000, Netware 86 for an Intel 8086 or 8088. Netware 286 was for an Intel 80286 and existed in various versions that were later merged to Netware 2.2. Netware 386 was a rewrite in C for the Intel 386 which was later renamed to Netware 3.x (3.0, 3.1, 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12 etc) versions. Its successor Netware 4.xx had versions 4.00, 4.01, 4.02, 4.10 and 4.11. Then came Intranetware) |
