Sorry, if I'm a bit clueless on this point.

Do you have direct experience "daisy-chaining" the flashes?  I had always
imagined that the TTL cord socket in the t32 could only be used for in
from the camera (or multi-connector), not linked out to another flash.  No
idea how the schematics work, but I'd never seen a diagram by Oly with
your recommendation. Happy to test this out with some assurance that I
won't short anything...

Goodness, does this imply that I could use the socket on the BG2 as an
outlet to a downstream flash if I put the cable from the camera directly
to the T32 socket when the T32 is mounted on the BG2?

With one T32, a couple of BG2s (I"ll probably be selling one shortly), 2
T20's (one with the TTL connector), plus my recent purchase of some more
cables and a multi-connector, I'm suddenly overwhelmed by combinatorial
possibilities... Guess I'll need a polaroid back to figure out lighting
now!

Off-list contact welcome if this is less relevant than Corvettes... :-)
