I sometime use my old Vivitar, or even one of the Normans, as a flash bracket mounted slave with my digicam (They both have very high sync voltages --hence the slave thing). Seems to work fine except when the camera thinks it is smarter than I (usually when there is a bright window in the photo). However unlike a Pentax DSLR my digicam has no way of coveniently using it on full manual <SIGH>. My bracket should anyone care is a Stroboframe Press T.
