Do any of you have any of (at least two that I have heard of) the 80-column
cards for the ATARI 800?  I have been using my 800 extensively as a terminal,
and the idea of 80 columns is very appealing to me?  I am a little worried
about the appearance of the letters and the screen clarity, though.  Does 
anybody know if they are compatible with, for instance, APX's Chameleon terminal
emulator (or other terminal emulators), and if they are acceptably clear?
I have a monitor, so I think it will handle the bandwidth....
