Of course not. The electronics inside the flash and the mounting shoe have been specifically designed for the Minolta contacts and required voltages.
Actually, you're lucky if you have not damaged the flash by doing that.
Get a flash with a generic one contact shoe for your cactus.

Need manual for sigma ef-500 dg super minolta version

You may download a copy of the manual from here. It's for the Pentax version of the flash, but I don't see anything in it that's Pentax-specific except for the mention that's it's Pentax-specific.

Does a sigma ef-430 work with a Nikon d200?

If you're worried about the trigger voltage, that's not a problem. However, you may not get all the features you'd get with a more modern Nikon flash.

Is the Sigma ES 430 ST compatible with my Nikon D60 or D7000?

Do you mean the EF 430? If so, then yes, it is compatible with the D60 and D7000, at least as far as the flash trigger voltage is concerned. You may not get all the capabilities of more recent Nikon flashes, but it will work.

Working instructions for Sigma EF-500 flash gun

Unfortunately, the manual for this model is no longer available online (even on the Sigma website). Try searching torrent sites and ebay as a last resort.

Sigma ef-500 dg st won't work with my d300 or 200 in ttl mode

This Sigma flash is not Ittl compatible. The D300 and D200 Nikon must have Ittl compatible flash to operate in any of the Automatic modes. It is a great flash but will not work on those two cameras.

1. Sigma EF-500 DG ST 2. Quantaray 7500A

A: For Sigma issue:

The Sigma EF-500 flashes have very small chromed contacts for the batteries. Even though they may not look corroded, they may not power up or conduct enough power to fully cycle up. Use a polishing tip in a dremel or an ink eraser tip to clean the internal wire contacts and the flat contacts on the door. I use dielectric grease on a q-tip to apply a coat to all contacts and cleaned battery terminals to minimise future issues.
