Ah I see. Those are quite interesting, they don't even have an
integrated video chip, but use a collection of TTL logic chips
to produce the - fixed timing - video output.

Here I am somewhat cheating in VICE. On reset, the CRTC emulation is
programmed according to the 3032 timing parameters, and the CPU access
is forbidden, so the values can not be changed :-)
But, same effect, correct video output with fixed timing :-)

Only 8296 (my tests) and Fat-40 (i.e. with CRTC) for the demo. 
Both only work by reprogramming the CRTC chip.
You can see the test programs (with VICE screen shots :-) here
