Hey there Deeno

Although you have to pay for it, ImagesPlus Camera Control works for my Canon 350D on my eeePc 701 (the small one). The software comes with connectivity to both Canon and Nikon cameras though - as long as you can conect via cable so that your bulb function can be controlled over 30 secs - which the D200 does. I'd use my Nikon on it too, but it only has IR control, not cable. ImagesPlus is aware of each cameras' functionality, and applies itself to control only those functions that can be rather than presenting just a generic interface.

Only thing is that you'll also need a USB to serial adapter for connecting the cable to - something like a Keyspan unit. I tried a cheapo one off eBay and it does all manner or weird things like expose when it's not mant to, and going off wen the exposure was meant to have finished.
