This from Info World under the title:

Wolfram Research ships Mathematica for 80386 Dos pc's.


Program includes all the features in the Mac and upcoming Unix versions,
except Notebook interface for interactive courseware (in Mac and NeXt).

32-bit program requires 1 megabyte of extended memory and takes advantage of
virtual memory for calculations that require more than 1 mg, using the Par
Lap's 386/VMM DOS extender.  CGA,EGA,MCGA,VGA, Hercules, and IBM 8514 also
supported.

Basic program cost $695
version with 287 or 387 coprocessors cost $995
version with Weitek 1167 or 3167 numeric coprocessors $1295


Just reporting what I read:
Standard disclaimers apply and trademark stuff for Unix,  Mathematica
Mac, NeXt, IBM, Par Lab, etc. etc. etc.
