It had a custom 16-bit processor called PALM (Program All Logic in Microcode), could support up to 64 KB of memory, and an integrated 5&quot; CRT display and keyboard. The 5100&#039;s starting price was $8,975 (about $55,555 in 2026 money), and weighed over 50 lbs. It used magnetic tape drives with proprietary cartridges for mass storage, and connected to a dot matrix printer or IBM Selectric typewriter for output.
