Up to a point perhaps. But don't expect to get every byte of a 330GB
IDE drive. It might work with small IDEs (bad idea; they seem to be
falling like flies) or a small CF card.
In any case, you're going to need a PATA controller. Best to get one
with support built-in.
You might also get away with just a DDO, if your OS will support that
(i.e. I'm not aware of any DDOs that work with the 286 version of Xenix).

You're
going to need an ISA IDE adapter with its own BIOS to use with an
IDE drive or an IDE-to-CF card adapter (Promise made some of those).
Strictly you don't ened a BIOS extension. IDE drives were designed ot be
compatible wit hthe Western Digital controller in the original PC/AT. If
you can modify the dirve geometry tabel [1] then it will work with the
drivers in the BIOS ROMs.
