Graftrax 80 is a set of 3 ROMs that plug into an Epson MX-80 without
graphics to give it graphics ability, along with some extra fancies
such as italics and the ability to turn compressed/expanded/etc printing
on and off within a line.
Graftrax 80 has since been superceded by Graftrax Plus, which comes
standard on new MX-80's, RX-80's, and FX-80's. A Graftrax Plus
upgrade kit costs between $75 and $110, with delivery at the lower
price being as much as two weeks. Graftrax Plus adds underlining,
subscripts, superscripts, and a few other things.
In mid-82, I upgraded to Graftrax 80 for $110. I've just upgraded to Graftrax
Plus, leaving me with a spare Graftrax 80 ROM set and manual which I'd
like to sell for $30 or best offer. This is a good chance to add a bit
of capability to an MX-80, including graphics, at low cost. It's a shame to
see these ROMs doing nothing, so offers quite a bit less than $30 will be
considered.

P.S. I've got 67 issues of Kilobaud, including all of the first year ('77)
and up to some '82 issues. $30 or best offer to an individual, free to a
school. Must be picked up in downtown Toronto (they're heavy!).
