This was the first modern computer my family had back in the 90's. Ours came preloaded with win95, 4 mb ram, 4x cdrom, 1gb hdd, 75mhz pentium, 14.4 modem / soundcard combo that had voicemail / fax & speakerphone capability (with software). It did have a sleep mode even with the old power supply. The power light would turn amber when in it if i remember correctly. I dont remember using the key button for anything. I do however still have the factory system restore discs with drivers and included software for this machine if you need them. I also have the weird soundcard, but havent powed it up in a system in years. Took very specific drivers and software to get it to run at all. Not surprised it wasnt included or got replaced in your system. Cool to see this machine again. Peak nostalgia. First machine to introduce me to 3d games, early internet via netscape navigator, demo discs from magazines, etc.
That Y2K patch card is really interesting! I’ve never seen one before. The computer seems to boot showing the S3 BIOS splash, then the motherboard Phoenix BIOS splash - I don’t see any date later than 1995. People do often hate on non-mechanical keyboards, but older OEM keyboards can be quite comfortable to type on and last a long time. I used an OEM PS/2 hp membrane keyboard for upwards of ten years because I couldn’t find one to buy that I liked better. Well-paced video with good closeups and relevant narration, and the background noise wasn’t bad at all on the lav. I look forward to part 2!
Being used as a point of sale terminal actually makes a ton of sense when you consider that AT&T had bought NCR, aka National Cash Register, to form AT&T Global Information Solutions and ultimately spun it back off in the mid 90s. Their target market was almost certainly enterprise buyers for industiral, office, customer service, and point of sale systems. You'll see AT&T and NCR branded machines with a common design language from around both time of purchase and time of split
Ahhh, yes... the "keyboard condoms", found at auto parts stores and 1990s Radio Shack employee keyboards back in the day LOL. That's a cool computer. When I was a kid someone gave me an AT&T 6300 PC with a color display and hard drive. Surely do wish I still had it now :(

Thanks for sharing! It'd be cool if you could get those restore discs uploaded to archive.org at some point.

great video
I am assuming AT&T PC Offered with ISP
If you register isp AT&T, this computer may also offer you Back Mid90s
I would assume they probably offered some sort of offer for WorldNet, but it's hard to say without having the original documentation.
I have a AT&T Globalyst 130 Laptop
maybe you could try messing with some beta versions of windows? stuff like whistler longhorn or chicago could be interesting videos.
Could be worth a shot, I was very interested in them many years ago.
