The oscillator circuit in a Power Bounce Grip 2 is essentially the same
as the oscillator in a T-32 flash. The advantage in using it to
recharge a flash is that you essentially have two power sources - the
flash's internal oscillator and the grip's. Splitting the grip's output
into two flashes _might_ overload the oscillator (causing it to
overheat? burn out? don't know), but the recycling time of the two
flashes would only improve marginally, I suspect.
Didn't Olympus make an AC adapter for the T-flashes? If so, you might
try to get a replacement cord for one of those to make your connection.
And the female part of the plug from the Grip 2 may still be available,
too - check with Oly parts.
