The IBN 5100 is an almost direct parody of the real-world IBM 5100 (both in name and appearance) produced by IBM in 1975 and discontinued in 1978. Like depicted in Steins;Gate, the real IBM 5100 supports APL and BASIC programming and offered 3 problem solving libraries.
Who built the IBM 5100?
IBM
What can an IBM 5100 do?
The 5100 was based on IBM's innovative concept that, using an emulator written in microcode, a small and relatively cheap computer could run programs already written for much larger, and much more expensive, existing computers, without the time and expense of writing and debugging new programs.
Why is the IBM 5100 special?
It was one the first portable computers made and it has the ability to read the older IBM programming langages in addition to APL and Basic. We need they system to "debug" various lagacy computer programs in 2036.2018-07-11
