We are interested in providing PC type software to occasional users without having a PC on every desk. We are considering the purchase of a Logicraft 386 WARE board as an add on to our uVAX. Experience with this or other products is solicited. Here is the Logicraft info per their ad in the DEC Professional. Logicraft 386 WARE . Provides high speed PC capability as a shareable system resource. . Allows any VT terminal on ethernet to run PC software . Full PC capability for less than 1/10th the cost of a PC Questions of interest are: . What VAX system performance impacts can one expect if 4 users are accessing the 386 WARE in I/O intensive operations. . Can you set up a terminal session in which you redefine the VT terminal keys to be positional and functional equivalents of an IBM PC keyboard, instead of continually refering to a cross reference chart or placing a template over the VT terminal keyboard.
