Help-Can I run dual YS-60 with a MMIIEX?

[Scuba Char]

Hi all,
I'm new to the board, but am taking advantage of the collective of knowledge right away. I have come to own two YS-60 strobes (one is new to me) and have a Seamaster Pro (MMIEX). Does anyone know the lowdown on trying to get a sync cord to work with both YS-60s? I heard there used to be an adapter, any advice??
Thanks so much...

Not sure, want another camera, strobe, and lenses?

Sorry about that Otter, I own a MMIIEX, and have always used one YS-60, and now I have 2 to use. I was hoping to use them together and am looking to see if anyone knows how....as I've not been able to find an adapter on my own. I sense this is not going to be easy to flush out the issues...when you're ready to get me out of the system....yikes.
Thanks for the reply though!

Sorry, wasn't clear. Do you want another MMIIEX, YS60, and set of lens...cheap

Unfortunately, I'm going to pass on this for myself...only because I have dual set-up (except for the camera) already. I do appreciate the offer though...
Thanks!

There is an adapter. You connect both stobes to the adapter, and then the adapter connects to the camera. I used one for years, and it worked great. I am now shooting a housed DSLR, but I still have it if you are interested..

There is an adapter pictured in Sea & Sea's book "The New Guide to Sea & Sea". It looks like a "T" mount. Another alternative is to use a slave trigger on your 2nd strobe.
