Descriptions from two authoritative Internet sources:
o Ralf Brown's Interrupt List
02h XENIX root file system
03h XENIX /usr file system (obsolete)
o Hale Landis, "How It Works" series
02 XENIX root
03 XENIX user
Landis apparently obtained the official partition type lists from
Microsoft and IBM in compiling his list.
However, XENIX is fairly long defunct; so maybe this is just academic,
though.
Concurrent CP/M (aka CCP/M) was indeed a version of Intergalactic
Digital Research's CP/M operating system. Rather strangely, it later
formed the basis of DR-DOS (briefly OpenDOS), the MS-DOS clone now
distributed by Caldera.
