I've seen it. It does use a std. hot-shoe, however with extra pins to
provide a communication channel between the flash and the camera. I've
never tried it, though, especially not on an OM. When I saw it, it was the
day I didn't have a camera along.

It would probably work - but probably not with TTL, considering that
Olympus are in the process of alienating their SLR-users.
