To which Commodore Clifford replies...

I was following that... but alas... I was a bit broken hearted to see
that AtariWriter 80 doesn't work with it. :(  Might see if they fix some
of that before I invest in it.  It's not a bad idea though.  Since I
already have a real XEP80, and might get the XEP80-II since it has some
additional features, I don't know if I'll end up doing this one or not.

But the link for the thread at AA is....
