Remote *ist operation (PocketWizard??)

I need to operate my Pentax cameras *ist and MZ6 inparticular, but might add the MZ-M. All use electro-magnetic shutter release, but I can find no Pentax cables for PocketWizard.

Has anybody obtained such a lead, or alternatively have they made a lead. It cannot be very difficult to make a lead up, but what connectors does the PocketWizard use, and can it be obtained, or will I have to buy a Canon or Nikon cable and reterminate it.

The Pentax connector seems to be a standard 2.5mm jack, and the remote merely shorts the sleeve to the middle for wake up/focus, and additionally shorts it to the tip for shutter release.

Any help appreciated.

Regards
