Using Flash w/Twin camera



     
     I am using a twin Minolta 7000i setup and I have a question:  Has 
     anyone had any eperiance with using a flash with this?
     
     I believe if I set one up with the flash and one at 1/60 shutter and a 
     fixed aperture priority, that the flash camera will tell the flash to 
     keep pumping out light 'til proper exposure is reached.  The second 
     camera would pretty much receive the same amount of light, but just 
     click away like a dumb slave.
     
     I am worried that I am overlooking something very basic, because 
     nothing I have tried so far with twin-cameras has been either cheap or 
     easy.
     
     I have not tried this, and I would like to get some words of wisdom 
     before I blow my neice's birthday pix.
     
     I know that using a pair of flashes will produce a twin-sun effect, 
     and probably over-expose both.
     
     Note: If this is covered in the FAQ, I apologize, I am having troble 
     with my PostScript file reader package, and cannot view it.
     
     
     Thanks,
     
     Mark
