I have a paper here from SCO entitled

	SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2
	      An SCO Background Paper
		  September 1988

It finishes off with an Answers to common questions section
from which I quote:

	Q: Will SCO continue to sell and support SCO XENIX System V
	   Release 2.3 for 286 and 386 machines after the introduction
	   of SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2?
	A: Yes. Many customers will prefer the lower memory and disk
	   requirements of SCO XENIX System V Release 2.3. Additionally,
	   Release 3.2 will not be available for 286 machines.
