RE: G08_003 vs. G08_105 follow up

FYI, if you may be thinking, why not just try it? We did and we're not
getting a picture. My buddy is getting the exact same results with both
HV/deflection combinations (and a third deflection), which is leading him to
think that maybe it just won't work with the monitor tester supplying only
G08_003 input.

I don't suppose anyone has a known good G08_105 that they can plug into a
regular Sega vector game and report the results. (yeah right). Okay, okay,
I didn't think I'd get any takers on that. Though it would be interesting
to hear the results.

Subject: G08_003 vs. G08_105

A buddy of mine is trying to test, trouble shoot and fix a couple of
G08_105's (Cosmic Chasm monitors). These monitors are plug compatible with
a regular G08_003. The specs are slightly different, see Hans compare cheat
sheet here:

The differences though, look to be within tolerance of each other. He is
using that Benchmate monitor tester I found a while back for the testing
(sadly I don't have a working Cosmic Chasm to test with). The Benchmate
does not have the specific G08_105 voltages and signals, only the G08_003.
Still, shouldn't the G08_003 voltages and signals be enough to test and
display a picture on a G08_105?

I recall that Mark Jenison did somewhat of the reverse of this on his Cosmic
Chasm, putting in a regular G08_003. Mark, did you make any mods to
anything to get this to work?

What are people's thoughts, assuming the monitor is working, should we be
able to get a picture on a G08_105 when supplied with G08_003 voltages and
signals? If not, what can be done to get this to work?
