I am considering using one for DOS and the other for :xenix/unix. One way that has worked for me: Put Xenix or Unix on drive C:, make it the active partition. Put the DOS partition where you want it, and don't make it the active one. To boot DOS, boot from a floppy disk. DOS will search for the first DOS partition and make that its drive C:. To boot Unix, just open the drive door.
