I used to service the AT&T 6300 which was an Olivetti machine. The
keyboard used a DB-9 connector and the power supply was unconventional
using spade lugs to secure the power cables. Does this sound like your
machine?

Yes, the design was "original" (=completely different) for a X86-flavour
based machine;specially inside where the layout is spread on three
boards:CPU, VIDEO, 8 bit ISA.(have you openened it yet?)
Do you have the original keyboard also?

It depends on what you are looking for?
As "collectible" can be interesting because of its early solutions on
monitor power supply (1 plug with signal and DC-PS toghether) and its design.
Otherwise is another obsolete PC as many other of that age.
