Logicraft

Logicraft was an American software company. The company's products enabled Digital Equipment Corporation minicomputers to run PC software.

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 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.
