For the purpose of setting the jumpers on the bus mouse card, the
IBM XT 286 is equivalent to an IBM AT. The hard disk in the IBM XT 286
uses IRQ 2. The typical settings are as follows:

   Jumper    Setting
     J2      normal
     J3      primary
     J4      IRQ 5

   As always, be sure that IRQ 5 is not being used for other hardware
devices, such as a Bernoulli box, network card, or tape backup.
