Well... If you use #80 as a slot identifier you will get your proggrams to
work in 99% of MSX2 computers and 100% of MSX1 computers.
That 1% is only MSX1 computers, that has been updated to MSX2 computers by
using a update cartridge. I don't think, that anybody these days is using
these expancion cartridges anymore... at least not as a primary MSX
computer. So I really wouldn't worry about this, and you can anyway use
all MSX1 functions, that does not handle VDP.
