Might be worth checking if it can also generate .DNG files. All of my
Pentax cameras from the last 3 years (K-7, K-x, K-5) have the option
of creating either Pentax-specific RAW files (.PEF) or .DNG RAW files.
The .DNGs are pretty standardized and can be processed by most RAW
processing software regardless of camera-specific support. The only
issues you'll come across is that sometimes the extra pixels on some
edges of the frame won't be automatically cropped out if your specific
camera model isn't supported.
