	I am planning on purchasing a 300 Mbyte ESDI drive to replace
40 Mbyte and 30 Mbyte drives on my PC/AT (inboard 386).  In my current
configuration, I have the 40 Mbyte drive dedicated to Xenix, and the
30 Mbyte drive dedicated to DOS.  With the 300 Mbyte drive, I would
like to dedicate 200 Mbyte to Xenix, 100 Mbyte to DOS, and have both
systems on the same drive.

	I am concerned that I will not be able to do this, because
Xenix appears to only allow one DOS partition on a drive, and I am
afraid that partition may be limited to 32 Mbyte.  Has anyone put
a large (100 Mbyte) DOS partition on the same drive as Xenix? Or put
multiple 32 Mbyte partitions.  If I cannot use a single drive for
both Xenix and DOS as I wish, I may be better off getting 2 150 Mbyte
drives.
