Oops, I've been telling rubbish. I guess that's my penalty for writing Oly
mail in work time.

Anyway, I've just pulled an OM-1, OM-2 and OM10 from the shelve, and moved
the battery caps around. These are my conclusions:
  OM-1 accepts all battery caps
  OM-2 accepts only OM-2 caps (the thread is OK, 't's just the odd position
of the battery compartment)
  OM10 accepts them all.

My apologies if I caused some confusion.
John, I humbly bow before thee.

Cheers,
Bart
