   Actually not, because the TRS-80 mode is there already on the MX-80   
   without GRAFTRAX. The TRS-80 block graphics are there in the   
   characterset in any mode, but moves from 0xA0-0xDF to 0x80-0xBF in   
   TRS-80 mode.   
      
   Actually GRAFTRAX adds support for Apple2 in that it adds support for 7   
   bit interface. There is a specific mention of Apple][ there.
