MZ flash with K110D

Am I likely to be able to use a flash designed for an MZ series camera with a K110D, is there any risk of damage and what features will I get and not get? Does anyone know?

What I actually have is a Centon FH85 flash with which I am very happy. It's quite a good one with swivel head, fill-in flash, off-camera cable and so on. I have a Centon "Pentax PX" module designed for my Super A and ME Supers. However, I have finally updated to a K110D.

I have neither the budget nor the desire to replace the flash. However, I have been offered a Centon "Pentax DT(?)" module, which I believe was designed for the early autofocus film cameras including one or two of the MZ ones, to replace the PX module. I don't have it yet, but I believe it may give me an IR pre-flash to assist focussing?

Any pointers you can give on the differences in flash features in the two cameras would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance.
