So i recieved my second XT and to my suprise it has a hard drive. A tandon tm-262.
The machine is from 1989 and is quite late for it to have a 8088
The video card in the computer is a Everex Systems INC ev-657. I believe this is a EGA card.
Here are the jumpers for it.

I only have a monochrome monitor that I used on my other XT. It uses a hercules card.
I see that a switch on the ev-657 has to be selected for it to enable Hercules mode.
It has a dip switches. I have put down switches 3,5,
Is that all I have to do or is there something else? I want to be sure. I don't want to wreck anything.
There will most likely be more issues as I bought the the machine untested.
