The Quick Auto 310 will work with any camera, but will funtion in "TTL
Auto" (OTF) mode only with an original OM-2 and Shoe 2. On other
cameras it will provide "normal" Auto and Manual modes.

Hm-m-m-m-m.... Doesn't sound quite right to me. Seems to me that both
(in fact almost all) flashes' trigger caps charge to something in the
vacinity of 100-125V, but it's been years since I bothered to check the
actual potential across the X-contact and ground -- I'll have to drag a
few flashes out and test next time I'm at the office....

Can scan & email if it's not online somewhere. There were two basic
variations of the circuitry of the 310, btw -- or should that be, "one
original and one variation"? I'm sure someone here will let me know!
