Actually Dee, they have...I just emailed Matthias & this was his reply....Good news to Inon 220(s) users!!

"The new outside unit, which will be available in about 2 weeks will
support the inon strobes, like the Z220 and Z220s. I will post some more
informations soon. Shipping will take about 1 week if the new units are
available.

regards,
Matthias"

Is the Ikelite DS50 a reasonable way to go? We fly to Dominica in 13 days, so a quick replies would be appreciated. Have an Oly C5050 and PT15 with which I've taken some okay pics, and just bought a Canon S70 and its uw case for our daughter. Would like a strobe that would work with either, and eventually with the Olympus E-1 outfit (can't resist the brilliant 100% viewfinder, build and ergonomics!).

With the pennies left, the Ikelite DS-50 seems the best way to go. It's available from photo stores and much cheaper that the hightech Inon, which sounds wonderful, but seems to be a pricey special import and "diver's boutique" item.
