In Reply to: Booting DOS system with Arcade Monitor on OK? posted by webjester on 7, 2001 at 6:58 PM:

: Hey folks,

: Just bought a Konami 29" sit-down style cabinet, and am getting read to MAMEify it (leaving the original JAMMA goodness intact no less).

: Question though is, once everything is wired up properly, will it be safe to boot the DOS box with the Arcade Monitor on?

: I've read through the FAQ's that i've found, but haven't seen that specific issue addressed. Are the BIOS/DOS refresh rates and frequencies safe for the monitor, or am I better off rigging two power switches into the box, one for the monitor and one for the system?

: Muchisimas,
