I have a central data model…I was wondering if this will support the drivers etc. of the modern Digi EtherLite 80. Hopefully, only the logo is different.
No it will not. The EL-8 and EL-80 are two different products, each of which have their own firmware. The Realport driver can be used by either however, as long as the Etherlite has Realport firmware loaded. All firmwares and drivers are available at http://support.digi.com.
