   I believe there is a hardware hack to get a TTL monitor output from the
XEP80. You might want to look into it. As for 80 columns via software, you
are probably better off going with monochrome. A good Chroma/Luma split
monitor (e.g. Commie 1702) works fairly well. I don't have the XEP80, so I
can't comment on it.
