Now hold on just a minute.  Now I am totally confused (which is not too
difficult to do :-)).  I don't remember ever seeing an AC "port" on a
T20 flash, it has always been battery-only for me.  So how can there be
an AC adapter that is for the "T20 only"???  Please, can someone verify
this for me since I don't have a T20 handy.
