If I ever get the time, one of the things I've thought of doing is taking an
Oly TTL cable and cutting it in half. Then I would attach some sort of
readily available connector (I was thinking of a PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse type
connector) to the bare end. Now I could make multi-connectors and extension
cords using readily available parts. I would only need the cutoff Oly cables
for the final camera/flash connections. I always thought a multiconnector
made out of an old winder or box of similar size that could screw onto the
bottom of the camera, would be a cool idea and help keep the cords neat. I'd
want to get some extra Oly cords before I cut up the ones I have, though.
