Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that AtariWriter80 is 
designed to only work with the XEP80 80 column hardware adaptor.  So, you
would have to make sure that you have a good monitor that will make 80
columns readable and spend the $80 for the adaptor.  I believe I saw
an ad for a combo AtariWriter80/EXP80 in one of the ads in ANTIC. At least
it would be cheaper getting them at one time.
