Brian & Morgan,
  I may be mistaken, but!  I believe that Olympus recently (within last
15 years is recent for Olympus time) marketed a thing called something
like a "Shoe Cord".  One end slips into the shoe and the other
terminates, via a cord, to a TTL connector.  It sounds to me like this
would function quite well as a OM-PC to BG2 connector.  John Hermanson
carried them and they were about $30 to $35 each.
