WGS is indeed an acronym. It stands for Work Group System.  The older
AT&T PC6300 is not a WGS.  There is however a 6300WGS.  It is a new
machine.  The only thing that is shares with the PC6300 is the 8086
family CPU chip.  It is faster (10 Mhz) and does not suffer from
the video problems that some people complained about.  That is, there
is no intrinsic video card, any card will do.
