Isn't 8-dot braille mainly used in computer braille? Also, the QT keyboards on some notetakers use the a and semicolon keys for producing dots 7 and 8. I personally can't stand 8 dot braille.

There is a detailed explanation at http://8dotbraille.com and a Google search for "8 dot braille" will provide more sources of information.
