Good memory John, there _is_ a tab on the bottom of the T-series power plug,
but it is not just the tab that is the problem - the power pins themselves
are at a different position (on the QA310 they are about 1mm closer to the
edge of the enclosure).
Which attachment do you suggest for the Dremel?
Enjoy your turkey!

Also, I think the pin socket in the T flashes have a little tab molded in
specifically to keep it from fitting BG1 (we may have been through this a
year or 2 ago). Shaving the tab off may make it fit BG1, though that would
be wrong. ;-)
