Did you get any specifics on how you actually get the MA-1? After I got
the email from E-1 support telling me that the adapter would be made
available on March 31 I mailed them back asking them to verify that it
would be free and also asking how E-1 owners would actually get one.
They responded to the first mail in two days. They have yet to repsond
to the second one which was probably sent a week ago.
