Yes I pop in now & again, I also have some OM1's 2's + a selection of Zuiko's, I do recall back at the birth of digital cameras there was a design for a drop in cassette with a sensor & memory rather like a 126 film cartridge that would have allowed folk to continue to use their analogue cameras but it never showed up, probably bought out by camera manufactures anxious to go fully digital, surely that is feasible with today’s technology.

I am sure that there still a few lurkers like myself, watching, still waiting, 
hoping for a digital back for my OMs should be easy I would have thought to 
just replicate the functionality of film, but I guess the interest is not there
With best regards

No, nobody here. It was inevitable, but is a bit sad.

OMG a store gifted me an OM3 and ON1 today…no one wants them  alas   :-(
I have plenty of original OM-1, 1N, 2, 2N, 4, 4Ti bodies. And some of the lower 
tier. And a couple of new, digital OM-1 II bodies, which get a lot of use.

There is a Facebook group, Zuikoholics Anonymous
https://www.facebook.com/groups/zuikoholics.

John Hermanson follows it, and a handful of old members of this list are there. 
 A bit flaky but one may show pix. The level of tech knowledge is generally 
below what used to be here.

Well, hardly anyone here. There area few who follow anything that shows up.
