Quite a few folks have been using T series flashes on E-thingies. There 
have been long threads about whether it's really safe in theory. 
Different people at Oly have given conflicting information. So far, no 
one who has tried it has had any trouble. I don't recall anyone 
specifically doing it on an E-330, but maybe if they have, they will 
speak up.

You can find lots about it in the archives. Also since you've been out 
of touch (and missed!), there is a new site that archives various lists. 
i don't know how its search mechanism is, but it does have a thread 
based mode <http://www.nabble.com/Olympus-Users-f15032.html>.

It should fire the T20. I know folks have used T series in Auto mode 
with reported good results and others have used manual mode and 
calculated settings with success. How having two units in Auto mode 
would work is strictly trial and error, but that's easy with digital.
