Chuck pointed out that FREQUENCY was more
significant,
and could DESTROY a 5151, and that voltage [if it WERE
a problem] needed but a resistor network.

That is true. You said "an Eagle 5151 clone"
Some people interpret "clone" to mean the "exact same thing
from another manufacturer".
Did you mean
"somewthing vaguely similar, with same specs,
but without the known design weaknesses"?
I still could be wrong, but whereas Chuck states that
30 khz
is what we're shooting for, I would bet the farm that the AT & T's
horizontal scan rate is actually much lover (23-25 khz). I still could
be wrong, but then again we're not talking about a fixed frequency vga
monitor in reality.
I don't know anything about such things.
I'm just trying to clarify what is being argued about.
It would help ENORMOUSLY to get it straight whether you,
or Chuck, have actually DONE what either of you suggest,
or are merely speculating about possibilities.
"you can", "you could", "would be" do NOT answer that!
