So what people are telling me is this is basically just an XT to me
unless I have something that uses 3270 terminals to hook it up to.
Then I can use it as a terminal. That is if I can get the special
keyboard and monitor. Is that right? Well I did just give a bunch of
furniture in my storeroom to my brother which freed up some
space. I guess I could hold on to it for a while just in case
something turned up. Hmmmm.

The part quoted below about the display was incorrect.
A true 3270 PC
used a special display adapter as well as a special keyboard adapter and
some special expansion memory (cabled to the keyboard adapter, if I recall
correctly). However, you can pull all of that out, and you will have a
more or less standard XT. You can leave the coax card in, if it suits
your fancy, and you have a 327x controller around somewhere... 8-)
