< 1. If the IBM 5150 XT computer came with documentation

Yes, a hell of a lot more than current hardware does.

< 2. Is an IBM monitor, model # 5153 (Personal Computer Color Display) is
<compatible with an IBM 5150 XT?

likely.

< 3. What kind of monitor (graphics array) is an IBM 5153. I would guess
<EGA, but don't know.

That would be CGA.

Pick up a copy (old one if possible) of the QUE publications _Upgrading
and Repairing PCs. Most of the editions were very IBM centric and useful
as reference. I keep a 3rd ed. for looking up connectors, drives and the
like. You have better luck fining it in a library or used book shop than
on the WWW.
