I have a table that defines some partition types:
1 - DOS with 12 bit FAT
4 - DOS with 16 bit FAT
5 - extended DOS partition
6 - reserved
0DBh - concurrent DOS

Judging from other postings, 0 is an invalid partition type.
Also, 6 is no longer "reserved". It is used by DOS 4 for DOS partitions
larger than 32 MBytes.
