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

NAME
smartctl - S.M.A.R.T. control utility SYNOPSIS
smartctl [-cdeglostv] [device] DESCRIPTION
smartctl controls the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System(S.M.A.R.T.) built into ATA-3 and later IDE and SCSI-3 Hard Drives. This is used to check the reliability of the hard drive and predict drive failures. TapeAlerts support for SCSI tape drives and changers smartctl is command line utility designed to perform simple S.M.A.R.T. tasks. OPTIONS
smartctl accepts two agruments, options and device in respective order. The options begin with a '-' and multiple options should be begun with a single '-'. The second argument is the device to be controled. ATA device use the form "/dev/hd*" and SCSI devices use the form "/dev/sd*". SCSI devices use only options a,i,c,e,d. For SCSI Tape Drives and Changers with TapeAlerts support use the form "/dev/st*" and "/dev/sg*". TapeAlerts devices use only a,i,c,e,d. i Check if the device supports S.M.A.R.T c Check if device has any S.M.A.R.T. Warranty Failures g Prints only the generic S.M.A.R.T. attributes v Prints only the vendor specific S.M.A.R.T. attributes t Prints only the vendor specific S.M.A.R.T. thresholds l Prints only the S.M.A.R.T. error log a Prints all parameters for c,i,g,v,t,l (for SCSI c,i) e Enables S.M.A.R.T. on device d Disables S.M.A.R.T. on device t Enables S.M.A.R.T. automatic offline self test timer which scans the drive every four hours for disk defects. T Disables S.M.A.R.T. automatic offline self test timer O Runs S.M.A.R.T. Immediate off-line Test S Runs S.M.A.R.T. Short Self Test ( usually under ten minutes) s Runs S.M.A.R.T. Short Self Test in Captive Mode. ( WARNING: This test will busy out drive for length of test. Only run this on drives without any mounted partitions.) X Runs S.M.A.R.T. Extended Self Test ( tens of minutes) x Runs S.M.A.R.T. Extended Self Test in Captive Mode. ( WARNING: This test will busy out drive for length of test. Only run this on drives without any mounted partitions.) A Aborts Non-Captive S.M.A.R.T. Tests. EXAMPLES
smartctl -a /dev/hda - prints all S.M.A.R.T. infomration for drive /dev/hda (Primary Master) smartctl -d /dev/hdd - disable S.M.A.R.T. on drive /dev/hdd (Secondary Slave) AUTHOR
