I'm looking for information on the protocol used by Minolta to 
communicate with their flashes (the things that make the blinding 
light - not the memory cards). The latest cameras are not compatible 
with the older flashes even though many of the older units are 
extremely capable. For example, the older and readily available 
wirelessly controllable 3500Xi and 3600Xi not only control 
illumination level (as one would expect) but also will zoom the flash 
to match the cameras zoom setting.

It's possible, albeit unlikely, that there may be enough information 
around to allow a simple protocol conversion twixt the new and old 
units. Probably not worth the effort, but it would be nice to know 
what was involved.
