I have a few older flashes from my toher Nikon film camera, including
an old Honeywell and a Sunpack. They all fire thru a hot shoe contact,
and they all have their own independent sensors to set the flash
duration.

I have tried to get then to fire thru my D70 hot shoe, but it just
won't light them off. I have tried manual mode, with the flash also set
to manual in the menu, but not flash.

Can the D70 fire any flash other than Nikon thru the hot shoe, and how
can I set it to do it?
