Are you sure about that? The 5100 doesn't support
floppy drives. And I've
never heard of third-party drives (that would need IMFs, too) for the 5100.
$3100 is about what IBM charged for a fully loaded 5150. (PC)
THAT is not a 5100! $3100 for a 5100 would have been a bargain.
A 5150 would not be worth as much as a Lisa.
A 5100 would be. (or at least in a similar range)
