Is the 5100 different to the 51xx? Because my machines are definitely labeled
DECsystem, but are equipped with framebuffer and so, and were used as
DECstations. Never looked what Ultrix tells me, but it is for sure labeled
DECsystem 5000/133. It uses those 80pin-SIMMs, the same as in the Personal
DECstation series.

The Kingston modules from my 76 were the ones not running in the 4000s.
I think, my 4000s are equipped with original DEC. But ok, never traced it too
deep to find the difference.
