Enable DEC minicomputers to run PC software
Logicraft was an American software company. The company's products enabled Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) minicomputers to run PC software (such as Lotus-123).
Overview.
Augmenting a DEC VAX or PDP-11 multi-user minicomputer with a "Logicraft" MS-DOS "card" that itself is multi-user allowed a person sitting at a simple terminal to run PC applications. This provided "controlled access to PC resources without putting both a PC and a VT terminal on every desk top." As of mid-1988, Logicraft and another firm, "Virtual Microsystems Inc" (VMI) were "the only commercially available products that let VAX/VMS systems run standard off-the-shelf PC applications from terminals and VAXstations."
"Logicraft's" "Omniware" was a combined hardware/software offering. Some users went beyond running PC applications and used serially shared CD-ROM access.
