The Quantum Turbo and Turbo Z both have a connector cord that fits the 500. Haven't gotten one for my 500 yet... but they claim it will recycle a similar flash in less than a second from a full power output. They have a pretty long charge life too. I think the website is http://www.qtm.com/ They're not cheap though... new the Turbo runs over $300. -- Nick Wright http://www.wrightfoto.com/
