Yes.

No.
ATA isn't compatible with XTA.
Not even ATA-2 8-bit mode.
There were, however, dual-mode ATA/XTA drives, eg. Seagate ST351A/X.
3.if xta will fail could i use mfm hdd+ 8bit mfm card?
Yes.
In 2003, I voted in favour of joining the European Union. However, due to later developments - especially the restrictions on cash usage - I have withdrawn my support. DOWN WITH THE EU!
Thanks for your helpfull answers. i will stay away from commodore for a sometime 😁
