Hello,
	Sounds very much like the 6060 PC (although there were various 
model numbers i.e. 6064. 6065, etc). if this is true it would be an XT 
class machine, utilizing an 8086 16 bit processor with a special 
bus adapter that funneled down to the XT style 8 bit buss. The clock 
speed on this puppy was an astounding 8 Mhz.......and the box was 
actually made by Olivetti.......and distributed by AT&T (as such it was 
known as the 6300). We still have plenty of these within Xerox, but as 
you can imagine, they are of limited use these days. One way of verifying 
this info would be to pop the bottom off, if possible, if it is a 6060, 
there will be two screws at the top back and two on the bottom back, 
loosening the two at the bottom in the back will allow you to slide and 
lift the bottom plate off, if you are successful at this point you will 
see that the motherboard is upside down.......and you should be able to 
validate that there is an 8086 processor. 
Hope this helps!	:-) bill
