Nikon's MD-12 was manufactured before the advent of the FM2 and FE2, 
originally for use with the FE and FM.  The MD-11 predates even the
MD-12, and was (and is) also used with these cameras.

The major difference (and a quite important one) is that if you forget
to turn off the MD-11, it continues to drain the batteries, even
when the drive is not in use.  The MD-12 has been improved to disable
battery drainage.  great if, in the midst of a great shoot, you forget
to turn off the drive and it sucks the life out of 2 paks of duracells.
