Shouldn't bother a CGA, other than not syncing. For that matter, an
MDA plugged into a CGA port, while not giving an in-sync display,
should not emit magic smoke.
It *is* possible to damage an MDA by cranking the horizontal sync up
to the point where it's *almost* too high for the display to
maintain sync; i.e., you're running the MDA on the "bleeding high
limit" of horizontal sync. The casualty is usually the HOT.
But that's not what's going on here.
