Hi architypes

I have been looking to add another hard disc to my A5000 and
would like info from anyone who knows about a particular HD.
The drive in question is a Maxtor XT1140 which I am told has
a ST506 interface. It is 112 Meg , 5 1/4 full height, MFM 
(don't know what MFM means !). Does anyone know anything at
all about this drive or any similar? Is it worth going for
an ST506 drive now or should I stump up the cash for an IDE
or even SCSI ? The price being asked is 120 UK pounds. I
presume I also need to get an ST506 interface ?

Please e-mail rather than post.
TIA
Phil
