I ran tests with two MD-2 units on an OM-4T, empty, set on manual at 1/2000
sec shutter speed.  The results (in seconds) to fire 36 exposures were:

                       M15.V                M18.V

MD-2 (a)           7.23                    7.22

MD-2 (b)           7.42                    7.24

I ran the MD-2 (b) test twice and got the same result.  I have no
explanation for the variance.  The other three average to 4.98 frames per
second.  Close enough to 5 for me <g>.  The odd one equates to 4.85 fps,
still not too shabby.
