When the IBM PC (1981) was released, it was originally identified as the IBM 5150. Thus, it was placed in the 5100 series, although its architecture was not a direct descendant of the IBM 5100.

It was produced in three versions:
- IBM 5110 Model 1 (with built-in cartridge cartridge reader (QIC) DC300 204 kb).
- IBM 5110 Model 2 (without a QIC cassette reader, but with the ability to connect a drive).
- The IBM 5110 Model 3 was developed as the IBM 5120 (with a built-in 8-inch drive to read 1.2 MB floppy disks ).
