[comp.os.vms] Request for Info or Exp with Logicraft Hardware

MICRO2.SCHWER@CRVAX.SRI.COM ("Micro Mauler") (11/13/87)

     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.
