I got a EGA/VGA card that should work on my CGA IBM 5153 monitor.
Little confused what dip switch setting i should use.
There information here: https://dosdays.co.uk/topics/Manufacturers/at … _wonder_vip.php
Should i use IBM Analog?

What a poorly written manual.
You would think they could describe CGA better than RGB

IBM CGA was 16 color ttl
AKA RGBi + HV Sync

“Analog” wasn’t an IBM standard and was usually 15khz RGB+s Analog which was a Commodore/Amiga standard or Targa

Some old multi format screens would have dips for TTL 4, 16, 64 color and ANALOG
and selections for CVBS/NTSC

That card is primarily VGA - the "IBM Analog" selection must be for VGA monitors, 31 kHz.

and selections for CVBS/NTSC

For them, there's the "MultiSync" selection, 15..35 kHz, up to 800 x 560.
