  RE: does the XEP 80 work on all Atari 8-bits?

  Yep, it sure does.  In fact, that is the biggest problem with it.  If Atari
had made a version that connected to the parallel bus on the 800xl/600xl and 
130xe machines, the XEP80 would have been the saving grace of the 8-bit line.
Alas, they did not, but they did make it compatible with all the 8-bits by 
simply using a joystick port.  Of course, they also made it compatible with
any other machine with a compatible joystick port...
