I have an NCR PC-8 (an AT clone) with an internal 30MB hard disk (type 20).
The disk is partitioned with a 4MB dos partition and the rest for SCO
Xenix 5. Everything seem to work fine.

When I add a Plus Hardcard 20 (entirely dos), Xenix aborts during its boot,
indicating that it is apparently trying to use some phantom type 1 disk
(it's not the hardcard, since Xenix thinks it has no partitions).

Admittedly, no documentation (neither hardcard, Xenix, nor NCR) indicates
that I should be able to do this easily. In fact there are strong
counter-indications. Nonetheless, I would like to do it. Can anyone help?
