ASDG tell me that the latest (1.2 ISTR) version of the Abekas saver works with
the 8200 drive. They will also upgrade for free: e-mail pk-asdg@cup.portal.com.
for details.
I haven't been able to try it out with my 8200 yet as I'm still waiting for the
driver to arrive from the States... fingers crossed :)
The 8200 can be picked up a *lot* cheaper than the 8500's, so it's probably
worth investigating this option if finace is a consideration.
