The IBM 5280 was described by IBM as a "Distributed Data System" in its 1980 announcement.[1] Its role was described as "a new low-cost product family to enter data into larger computers, communicate data and process data on the spot." By 1982 IBM conceded that these offerings had "stiff competition" (described by a securities analyst as "have not been doing all that well.")[2]

(*) In December 1983 IBM increased the maximum internal storage of the 5285 to 96K that "can be configured into several partitions that operate independently."[3] This feature (described as "multiprogramming") already was available in the two higher models.

Printers

{{visible anchor|IBM 5256}} (table-top) or {{visible anchor|IBM 5225}} (floor-standing).

The 5225 had four models, (1, 2, 3, 4) and collectively they offered:

  • print speeds of 280, 400, 490 or 560 lines per minute, respectively.
  • 132 characters per line (10 pitch) or 198 (15 pitch)
  • 6 or 8 lines per vertical inch
  • 95 character set or multinational 184 character set

The 5225 was also offerd for use with the IBM System/36.[4]

The 5256 was a dot-matrix printer[5] that could print at speeds of 40, 80 or 120 characters per second, depending on the model (1, 2, 3).[6]

Programming languages

DE/RPG or COBOL are the languages supported.[7]

Options

A magnetic stripe reader could be attached.

Applications

The 5280 attracted attention from software vendors.[8]

Clone

A clone of the 5280 was made in Eastern Europe.[9]
