I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine any good reason why it shouldn't
work.

Won't work because 99.99% of multi-sync VGA monitors have a minimum
horizontal scan rate of around 31.5 KHz, which is about twice the
standard RS-170 or NTSC horizontal rate.

Those both operate at standard RS-170 or NTSC rate, as do the Apple
monitors that accept composite video.
