Bad news Terry,

The 6300 uses a non-standard keyboard period.  The existance of the 
mouse port and the circuitry to handle it are just one difference.  The
ROM chips in the keyboard are proprietary as is the plug interface.  If
you don't want to use an AT&T keyboard on your 6300, you have one alternative
(at least that I have ever seen): Keytronic makes a version of their
replacement keyboard for the 6300.  Looks just like an IBM 101 AT kbd.  No
mouse port though.  Keytronic has a good reputation.  47st Computer used to
sell them.  Hope you can return the Inmac.  This is not an endorsement of 
Keytronic or 47th Street Computer.
