Thanks Bob. Somewhere along the line I thought someone mentioned that the
non-Olympus duo-sync cord was unsafe for the OM's with electronic circuitry,
so I was wondering if somehow the multiplied trigger voltages were
compensated for in the OM2s circuitry if original Olympus ttl 5 pin
connectors were used. I think I also read somewhere that using 2 different
third party flashes on a duo-sync could cause damage because they might have
reversed polarity or something. Maybe that is where I was mixed up.Sometimes
there is way more information on this list than I can keep straight, so I
have to have things repeated. :-)

Thanks again.I knew that two t20's gave me a GN of 28, but couldn't remember
how I arrived at that figure. (Probably got it in the past from one of John
Lind's posts.)
