Actually, after looking again, it does appear to be a standard hot
shoe. When I first looked at it before, it appeared that one of the
electronic contacts on the flash was off-set a little more than the
contacts on the camera hot shoe. But, after looking at it again, it
looks like they do line up after all.
As for the discharge voltage, that I don't know. The only
documentation that came with it is repair and service receipts for
the camera. I'll have to see if I can find it somewhere on the web.
Thanks for the heads-up!
According to this page:

....the Promaster has a trigger voltage of 4-5 volts.
Based on this discussion, that's probably OK - but it's your camera :-)>

Thanks, Brian!
Yeah, that looks safely within the voltage range of the K20D. I guess
the issue at this point is getting the correct dedicated module for it.
I've found a little info on that and so far the cheapest I've been able
to find is $40.
Gonna have to do some cogitatin' on this.
