Default DV = Computer

All,

Have you ever heard about some device that could be used to copy the DV
tapes to the computer? I used Canon GL2 to create many tapes. Some of them
are already permanently located on my RAID array, but this is a huge amount
of data and I'd prefer to use a simle quick way of copying these tapes, but
I don't want to use camcorder for this operation. So the question appeared -
is it possible to find some device, it supposed to be relatively cheap, to
insert a DV tape and copy the content to computer using Fireware as usual?

There is one more downsize of this question. Probably I will replace this
GL2 with some HD SDHC camcorder. There are several items on the Internet and
I'm sure there will be much more pretty soon. But I don't want to lose an
access to the tapes that I recorded. On the other hand it's silly to keep
GL2 just for reading these tapes.

Just D.
