Just adding for the T-45: yes, it also has the socket for the AC
adapter 2 and 3 connector. 
These sockets also take the high-voltage from the Quantum Turbo
battery, by means of the special adapter cable made for Olympus (all
T-flashes). As a matter of fact Olympus now recommends using these
Quantum Turbo batteries with the T-45 - since their own weird NiCad
Packs are no longer made.... but they also give the shortest recycling
times possible for the T-32.
