VECTOR: Safe to run XY PCB w/ monitor disconnected?

Specifically with Atari -- Star Wars and Major Havoc, is it safe to run the
PCB with the monitor completely disconnected or can it cause problems?

I'd like to work on the games using a scope for the output, and disconnect
the monitor (at least the power) until I get the boards working correctly.

The reason I ask:

indicates that the regs output needs to be clipped.

Thanks
