This didn't seem right to me so I tried it out on my MD2 and sure enough
it behaves just as you described.  I tried it with both an OM-1 and an
OM-4Ti and the behaviour was exactly the same.  So I guess it does need
those SR44's for more than just keeping it alive when the battery pack
isn't there.  You learn something new every day.....
