We show that accretion disks in several compact X-ray binaries with
hydrogen-depleted donors are likely subject to a thermal ionization
instability, unless they are strongly irradiated. These disks are particularly
interesting in that their MHD-turbulent properties in the neutral phase may be
quite different from those of standard, hydrogen-rich disks.
