	IBM Archives: IBM 5120 Computing System
		Two years after launching the 5110, IBM introduced its 5120 Computer System in February 1980 as the lowest-priced IBM computer to date.
		A representative configuration — which included a main storage capacity of 32,768 characters of information, a 120 character-per-second printer and the BASIC programming language — could be purchased for less than $13,500.
		The 5120 Computer System featured the new desktop IBM 5110 Model 3 computer and two previously announced products: the IBM 5103 models 11 and 12 bidirectional, matrix printers; and the IBM 5114 diskette unit with up to 2.4 megabytes of direct access storage.

		IBM 5110 Model 3 - also designated as the IBM 5120 (with two built-in 8 inch 1.2 MB floppy disk drives).
		The IBM 5110 was announced in January 1978 (3 years after the introduction of the IBM 5100).
		The IBM 5110 Model 3 (also known as the IBM 5120 Computer System) was the desktop version of the 5110.

	IBM 5120 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The IBM 5120 Computing System (sometimes referred to as the IBM 5110 Model 3) was the desktop version of the IBM 5110 Portable Computer which featured two built-in 8 inch 1.2 MB floppy disk drives, announced in February 1980.
		Apart from the housing and the disk drives the 5120 was technically equivalent to the IBM 5110.
		The IBM 5120 was launched as the lowest-priced IBM computer to date.

	IBM 5100
		Incidentally, and this is from memory, when IBM released the first 8088 based PC it was officially the IBM 5150.
		IBM was paranoid and afraid somebody might run 360 programs on the 5100.
		According to the IBM archives (http://www-1.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/pc/pc_2.html), the 5100 was announced in Sep 1975 avalaible in 4 models (4 memory sizes and 3 language choices).

	IBM 5100 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While the IBM 5100 seems large today, in 1975 it was an amazing technical accomplishment to package a complete computer with a large amount of ROM and RAM, CRT display, and a tape drive into a machine that small; it was two more years before the similar Commodore PET was released.
		IBM later used the same approach for its 1983 introduction of the XT/370 model of the IBM PC, which was a standard IBM PC XT with the addition of a System/370 emulator card.
		When the IBM PC was introduced in 1981, it was originally designated as the IBM 5150, putting it in the "5100" series, though its architecture wasn't directly descended from the IBM 5100.

	IBM 5120 / IBM 5110 model 3 / IBM 5110-3 computer system
		IBM 5110 model 1 - physically similar to the IBM 5100, but without the internal tape drive - supports external tape drive, floppy disk storage, and printer.
		IBM 5110 model 3 - (seen here) - the base of the IBM 5120 system, which includes the 5110-3 and a printer.
		The IBM System/23 Datamaster was released just one year after the 5110-3 - it looks the same, but has an entirely different internal circuit design.

		Though not "updated" as often as its competitors (IBM, for example, sat out the wave of the 4.3 GB/platter drives that Maxtor, WD, Quantum, and Fujitsu all participated in), a new Deskstar's release always heralds new frontiers in performance.
		IBM (among several other manufacturers) has this nasty habit of announcing new products months in advance.
		With the release of the 14GXP/16GP series, IBM premiered a 5-platter ATA design, catapulting themselves to the forefront of the capacity race.

	DigiBarn Systems: IBM Personal Computer 5150 and VisiCalc for the IBM PC
		The IBM PC (known inside IBM as the model 5150) was launched on August 12, 1981 and represented IBM's entry into the microcomputer marketplace.
		IBM called this "open architecture" and this was a great departure from its prior "personal" computer model, the 5120, built entirely by IBM and launched in 1980.
		The IBM PC came bundled with Microsoft's Disk Operating System (called PC-DOS in its IBM incarnation) and a number of software packages were ready to go for it on the day of launch, including VisiCorp's VisiCalc, displayed here with the IBM PC 5150.

	Comments on the Keyboard of the IBM PC
		When the IBM PC was first introduced, it came with a cassette tape port, and it was envisaged that at least a few people might purchase it for use as a home computer.
		As that computer had the same keyboard layout as the IBM PC, and the same team that worked on it had the IBM PC as their next project, that computer is generally considered to be the predecessor of the IBM PC.
		IBM had felt the need to extend the keyboards on its products so that they could include characters found in ASCII which had not previously been used with their computers.

		Weighing approximately 50 pounds and sized slightly larger than an IBM typewriter, the 5100 Portable Computer was announced by the company's General Systems Division (GSD) in September 1975.
		The 5100 was available with either APL or BASIC — or both — programming languages.
		Such a machine would have been nearly as large as two desks and would have weighed about half a ton.

		The 5120 integrated system was the last evolution of the 5100 and 5110 portable series, and the last 'heavy desktop' computer made by IBM.
		The 5120 was an intermediate system between the IBM mainframes and the future 5150 PC.
		After the IBM 5120, IBM manufactured another computer in Rochester based on the Intel 8088 chip that was called the DataMaster.

		On the picture of the IBM 5110, the processor board is shown, which was also installed into this computer.
		The card format and the connectors were just adopted by IBM from other IBM-computers, especially from mainframes.

		IBM was filed in U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York on January 17, 1969 by the Justice Department.
		The government contended that IBM planned to and did eliminate emerging competition that threatened the erosion of IBM's monopoly power by devising and executing business strategies which were not illegal, but which did not provide users with a better price, a better product or better service.

	Scan Codes Demystified
		Modern 122-key keyboards that connect directly to computers usually have slightly different layouts, based on the IBM 5250 display terminal, so the way in which keys corresponding to those on the 101-key keyboard are located on the 122-key keyboard is likely to be different from what I had assumed in the creation of this diagram.
		While the original 101-key keyboards could only be used on newer IBM computers designed to work with them, however, the merits of the new keyboard arrangement were such that there was a great demand for keyboards with this arrangement that would be compatible with older computers.
		In addition, the original IBM PC keyboard had the Print Screen function on the same key as the asterisk, and the Break function was on the Scroll Lock key, and the AT keyboard had the System Request function on its own key.

		In Fixing the IBM 5100 you can read what is required to transform a standard IBM 5100 into a system that can run IBM System/360 code natively.
		The IBM System/360 range was popular because of its emulation of IBM 1401 and other systems.
		The modified IBM 5100 will not run any software based on the older architectures because of the capacity limitations of its memory, missing special purpose hardware and the missing (but required) operating system.

	The IBM PC turns 25: Engadget's first PCs - Engadget

		Oh sure, pops sprung for an IBM AT (pictured) in my final year at university which delivered an Intel 80286 clockin' in at 6MHz, a 20MB hard disk, a couple MB of RAM, MS-DOS 3.0, and a 5.25-inch floppy drive all packed neatly into a lovely beige box.
		My first PC was an IBM PC XT with a 20 MB hard drive, tape backup, 5.25 inch floppy, a 12in monochrome monitor using a hercules adapter and a 4 Mhz 8088 that was later upgraded to a 7Mhz 8086.
