I doubt it, in the early 80s, 16bit minis were common, so there were memory limits and segment sizes we do not have to worry about at all these days. I did not get to program on 32 bit minis until maybe around 1988 or so. By then, minis were just starting to be replaced by PCs. PCs kind of stopped companies from developing better minis. Where I was, by the late 80s, the high-end mini from the vendor I worked for was a borderline mainframe, maybe even a mainframe. But sales were falling at that point.
