Experience using one, no (matter of $$$), but I have heard of how it is done.
After doing some talking to one of my freinds at a computer store, it came
out that the easiest way to disconnect the AT&T CGS card is to remove it and
replace it with a ribbon cable running from the mother board to the
expansion board.  Power must also be connected to the expansion board because
the power does not come through the cable.  I believe you will find that
this will void your warranty if you do it.

The other solution is a board sold by Xerox.  Xerox is currently selling the
Olivetti made AT&T 6300 under the name Xerox 6064.  Because one of the
configurations of the computer is with a full page monitor and graphics card
designed to be used as a deticated text processor, Xerox developed a board
which is essentually an AT&T graphics board with the graphics drivers
removed.
