[net.micro.atari8] hardware addons

I am looking for information concerning two new interesting hardware goodies, 
the 80 column card from Atari and the Multifunction Input Output board from
ICD Inc.

Though the screen card can generate an 80x25 IBM type character display,
will we be able to generate higher graphics resolution than what is now
available on the 8 bit line?  If so, can it be done through hardware or
software since the new card takes over the existing graphics processing?

According to the Ocotber ANALOG the XEP 80 (Atari's 80 column board)
should be out for XMAS.
