The Atari XEP80 80 column display for the 8 bit series has been shipping
commercially for a couple of months in the US.  It does exist.

The XEP80 provides a monochrome 80 column display on a "typical" monochrome
monitor.  It also provides a parallel printer port.  It connects to the
8-bit computer line through one of the joystick ports.
