It was a PC with a 3270 emulation card. It appears that the hard drive
has been removed, so it's missing the software.
Does anyone (here) still have the 3270 emulation software for one of
these? Without that it's basically an IBM PC/XT with some useless extra
card(s) in it. I guess it should also have a special (3270 layout)
keyboard, which is missing.
