Are you suggesting that IBM has produced over 10,000 different computer
models?  I doubt it!

  The IBM 5120 I'm (only slightly) familiar
with is a later version of the
 IBM 5100 portable computer from 1975. 
Does anybody know all the machines that comprised the 51xx series?  The
few I know are:

5100, IBM Portable
5110, similar with optional (?) 8" flops
5120, bigger screen, built-in 8" flops
5140, Convertible
5150, PC
5155, Portable PC
5160, PC/XT
5180, PC/AT

Was there a 5130?
