Yes. Remove the back cover. If you look on the inside of the back case,
you'll find a diagram documenting the jumpers on the system board. One
of them configures your internal display as either an MDA or CGA adapter.
Select the MDA jumper setting. Once you have reassembled the computer,
install your VGA card and run setup, and you'll be ready to go.
