Is this another name for the 5100 with APL option?
No, though it is related.
The 5100 was available with APL, Basic, or both, had an internal tape
drive, and could support one external tape drive (or two external tape
drives as an RPQ option).
The 5110 was an improved 5100, which was also available with APL, Basic,
or both. The internal tape drive became optional, and it could support
external disk drives. The APL and BASIC interpreters were somewhat
improved over those of the 5100.
The 5120 is a 5110 packaged in a larger case with built-in disk drives.
It's also known as a 5110 Model 3 (or was it Model 2?).
