Just for clarification's sake - what does the connector on the Vivitar look like? Is it
PC (nice & confusing with "personal computers" and "politically correct", eh?).

Or does it look like a standard two prong wall plug (I have one of those - it's amazing to
me that the industry did that!). That's what my Honeywell Strobonar Pressmaster 880
has (the two prong connector). 

Or is is something else?
