Is the main difference between the MD1 and 2 that the MD2 offers auto
rewind?  Are the batteries packs the same for both drives?
Last question, can the MD1 be used on the newer bodies, Om4T for example?  I
don't really need auto rewind.

I do a lot of railroad action photography and 5fps is about what I need with
transparency film.
The "right" composition may only last for a couple of seconds!
I like to have (as nearly identical as possible) one or two slides for the
permanent file, a couple to send out for possible publication and one to use
for slide shows.

Thanks,
Mike Gardner
