Just looked in the A1 manual. There was a Power Winder A and the motor
drive
was designated MA.
One point I had completely forgotten about the F1n is that although it
operated in manual and aperture priority AE mode with the AE finder FN
fitted, attaching the AE Power Winder FN or AE Motor Drive FN added
shutter
priority AE to the mix.
