Ah, I should have known.  Now I remember talking about this a few
months ago.  I have a hard time imagining using a manual focus twin
rig for the kinds of family, travel and casual photography that I do.
Even the manual focus and exposure setting of a single Realist camera
is sometimes too slow for me.

I do have a pair of Ricoh point-and-shoot cameras which are twinned
via some cables from Radio Shack.  This works very well, and has been
great for vacation shots, etc.  It's compact, light-weight, and fully
automatic.  There are occassional sync errors, but the overall yield I
get is pretty good.

Thanks for the info!
