My hope is that they will use a lens mount that will allow it.  Don't the
OM-77 and OM-88 allow you to mount MF Zuikos?  They should be able to do it
that way pretty easily.

I don't think they will, but they could.

I'd stake my professional reputation on it. If and When Oly produces a
digital SLR with interchangeable lens they will  certainly not be the
current Zuilkos 'cause:

1. They'll be AF.
2. They'll be digital-specific designs or at least touted as such.
3. No one outside of this list would spring for a new digital body mated to
*old* Zuiko lens designs. That'd be a marketing blunder that would make New
Coke and the OM77 look like works of genius.
