There were versions for Lisa and (not used but seen pictures of) an

Later versions of Xenix were 286 and up, and later (with XENIX System V

Umm... IIRC, Xenix was a unix implementation that
didn't even require
virtual memory, ran on x86 architectures (386?) and required very
little memory; certainly much less than Win96 since Xenix was
available in 1986.
Early Xenix ran on a 286. I don't think it ever ran on anything
less. I have an early Microsoft MSDOS 2.0 OEM announcement that
talks about eventually unifying Xenix and MSDOS. I guess that goes
in the same category as Microsoft OS/2 2.0...
