I am desperately looking to fill the last hole in my
"machines that I have
worked with" museum.
An IBM 5100 - This machine used two 1/4 inch tape drives and had either
Basic or APL (or both) in ROM. Inbtroduced in 1975 by IBM.
I am seeking assistance in estimating the total production of IBM 5100s. I believe this
can be done by collecting a sufficiently large sample of serial numbers and related
information. Hopefully, I will be able to divine the numbering convention and thereby
come up with a reasonable estimate of total production. This, of course, assumes that the
units were serially numbered.
Therefore, I am looking following information for 5100 units:
1. Model (BASIC only, APL only or APL/BASIC)
2. Manufacture date (if known)
3. Serial number
Also, I would like to receive item 2 and 3 information of 5106 tape drive units.
Thanks, all.
