Nikon SB-800 and D70

[lidarman]

I read for the D2H and D2x, the SB-800 speedlight can use FP mode to actually sync faster than the 1/250s limit of the camera.

...and I see conflicting info of whether it can be pulled off on the D70. So far, I cannot do it.

So the question is, can this be done on the D70 and if so, how do you do it? My assumption until I hear directly from Nikon is that the d-70 cannot use FP to sync faster than 1/500.
