I'm pretty sure no OS on the planet requires extended type 0x0F to use LBA,
except
Win95b
Win98
WinME
If you use none of above WinDOS, there's no use in using the non-standard
0x0F type instead of the standard 0x05. Some partitioning tools will behave
differently if the type is 0x0F instead of 0x05.
Most operating systems pay no attention to the extended type anyway. They
just read the table entries to see where partitions start and end, though
some read the type byte as a switch as to whether to investigate whether
access might be provided, such as a drive letter, and subsequent attempt to
read filesystem and mount appropriately. Linux doesn't seem to care about the
type byte once a filesystem has been installed on a partition.
