The Minolta Auto 320X is an excellent flash. It has multiple auto modes (each has a recommended f-stop) and can be set to manual and manually dialed down from full to 1/16th power. There's a lot you can do with it.

 The 320X was the flagship of Minolta’s Auto Electroflash models. Based off the previous 320 (undedicated) it boasted a guide number of 32 in metres, had bounce and swivel capability, and used thyristor circuitry. Thyristor circuitry was a huge advantage for users, as it enabled the capacitor of a flash to only discharge the amount of power required for a flash, rather than it’s whole charge. In practical terms, this resulted in faster recharge times and longer battery life.

In addition, the 320X incorporated three “auto” settings for automatic flash operation (simply select the F-stop indicated by the flash for perfect exposures) and an adjustable power setting in manual mode from full power down to 1/16th power. This makes the 320X a very handy tool in the home studio, as its power can be adjusted based upon flashmeter readings or calculation to get whatever lighting ratio is desired.

 

The 320X is a very high featured Auto flash, and if you don't own a camera with TTL flash capabilities (ie. the X-700 or X-500/570) there is no real reason to select the later model 360PX over the 320X. An added bonus is that the 320X normally sells for less than half the price of the 360PX.

I think this Flash is compatible with all Manual Rokkor & XD Minolta SLR's, but I did find some websites speaking about a converter that allows this flash to work with AF Minoltas even Maxum Digitals & Sony Alphas( Obviously using the flash in manual mode dialing in the settings on the flash itself using the control dials) 

PLEASE CONFIRM THIS FLASH WILL FIT THE PURPOSE YOU INTEND BEFORE BIDDING!!
