Default Pocket Wizard

Hi all

I'm looking to buying a wireless flash trigger device called Pocket Wizard. I will be using it with my ol' D50 with a SB600, along with other older flashes. Went to the website but can't understand all the technical stuff so, i'm turning to you guys to help me understand. Also, would appreciate feedbacks on users of the device...
My question would be:

1. Compatibility
Will it be compatible with my old D50 and older flashes?

2. Hardware
What kinda cables/device is needed to use it?

3. Availability & Cost
Where can i get it and how much would I be spending on it?

Reaaaallly appreciate your help on this one! Btw, Happy Chinese New Year to all!

1, no compatibility use as manual setting via the sync port.
2, it came with a sync cable to the PW unit.
3, not in SG as not IDA certified but available in the online shop.

I think they are banned in Singapore due to the frequency they operate on.
