HP LJ4100 mfp - Venix fs?

Hi all. I am tinkering with an HP LaserJet 4100 mfp with the hard drive add-in card . The drive on the card is a standard 40GB laptop IDE drive, but when I connect it to my Windows machine and run a partition program (2 different ones so far - EAZEUS and Partition Manager), they identify it as partition type 0x40 Venix-80286. When I boot with my Knoppix DVD, fdisk agrees, but QTParted doesn't know what to make of it. I'm a bit rusty in Linux. How, if at all, do I mount the disk and read what's on it?

The commands I have tried are:
mount -t xenix /dev/hda1 /hp
REPLY= mount: unknown filesystem type 'xenix'

mount -t coherent /dev/hda1 /hp
REPLY= mount: unknown filesystem type 'coherent'

mount -t sysv /dev/hda1 /hp
REPLY= mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1
missing codepage or other error

TIA
Yappi

eject(1), rmmount(1M), attributes(5) WARNINGS
Due to a hardware limitation in many floppy drives, the act of checking for media causes mechanical action in the floppy drive. Continu- ous polling of the floppy drive will cause the drive to wear out. It is recommended that polling the drive only be performed during periods of high use. SunOS 5.11 28 Feb 2007 volcheck(1)
