BUT!
The 5100 was not the IBM PC line.
Is the 5100 the RT RISC-based one? I remember seeing one of those at
udel in the 82-86 time frame and I recall it had windowing, bitmap
graphics, etc.
Much earlier than that. It was based on a 16-bit processor called the PALM.
Oh, OK, wrong again about IBM equipment :-). I confess that I really
know next to nothing about IBM gear.
I see from a followup message that the 5100 did not have graphics
capability, only character display.
