SCO supports two 8-port boards -
   Arnet Controls 4 and 8 port (8250b version) and
   Control Systems Hostess 4 and 8 port versions.

the Computone ATvantage-X smart serial expansion also has a driver for
SCO Xenix.   Presumably you have to relink the Kernal (which requires
owning the software development package) in order to install the
Computone driver.
