I would love to know about this. We did develop the DB for the OM-4Ti, which
would also have been usable on the OM-2S Program but I did leave out some
details here. Even if the DB was available, it wouldn't have been possible
just to remove your conventional back cover and replace it because the usual
two contact points (for the Quartzdataback, filmback 250 and intervalometer
accessories) wouldn't work. The OM-5 had a whole set of different contact
interfaces and there was serious work done to the innards of the OM-4Ti to
make the DB function.
