I /think/ it did. I used to run a Xenix/286 box in my 1st job, and
installed a few as well, and I am reaonably sure I used to have to
configure swap on them. My office machine was an IBM PC-AT, the 6MHz
version, with 512K RAM, and not only did Xenix run fine but I had
enough RAM to run a 2nd terminal as well.
OS/2 1, OTOH, I think needed at least 1024KB to boot. Not sure of
this, but that's what dim recollection tells me...
