It looks like it has a motherboard and a single card plugged into it,
but I don't know if its really a terminal or not...

Sounds like the actual 'guts' of the system are all beneath the backplane (and
accessed from the underside of the machine)

Thanks Jules, that looks like it. I suspected it was a PC (and less
interesting to me) than a terminal (more interesting to me :-).

It looks like an AT&T PC 6300 to me...

It looks basically the same as the ones I've got.

That is an AT&T PC 6300, my first computer. It is decidedly MORE than a
dumb terminal :-) although it will only work with an AT&T monitor of
similar vintage.

I distinctly recall at least one occasion where I got a CGA monitor (?) to
somebody for use with one of those machines, though I don't recall now
whether she had to install a separate video card to make that happen or not.
I also remember making some adapters for using regular PC type keyboards
(XT-class ones) for use with that machine.
Both of these were a LONG time ago, though.
