AT&T 6300 (Olivetti) substitute parts ?

[Dan Ts'o]

	We have uncovered an old AT&T 6300 PC (Olivettit 8086 machine) which
is semifunctional. Unfortunately so many of the parts are non-standard that
it is either somewhat difficult or uneconomical to replace them with the
real thing.

	Does anyone know, if a standard XT or AT keyboard can be made to work
with the 6300 ? (The 6300 keyboard is sh*t, and also uses a 9-pin D connector).
How about the video card ? Can it be removed and a standard PC-bus video card
put in its place ? How about the BIOS ? (the 6300 seems very PC-incompatible,
perhaps a BIOS change would help ?)

	Please email responses. Thanks.
