I've heard of people using the Minox cameras in dual rigs but haven't 
seen on in person.  Construction is similar in principal to the XA/XA-2 
rigs.  Contrary to my reading of the above, the XA(2) rigs do not use 
standard cable releases.  You've got to hack into the electronics there 
too.

In my experience, the XA-2 rigs do a fine job of matching exposures in 
normal lighting situations (nothing too harsh or low-light).  I've heard 
conflicting stories about XA based rigs though.  Some were really bad, 
some were OK.
