It would appear from this 
<http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/333933>  somewhat 
confusing entry that a dell utility partition uses the same identifier
as Type 88 Plaintext.
According to this <http://www.goodells.net/dellutility/> article a dell 
utility partition is fat16.

I know nothing about the subject but I hope maybe that this helps a little.
