My understanding is that A lenses with aperture rings can also be used, and they are more recent. You just have to set the aperture on the ring rather than using the 'A' position. Perhaps somebody can confirm this as I haven't tested it with my old A lenses.

Yes, they should work, just as good as M lenses.

Manual focus:

PENTAX (Called K, for some reason)
PENTAX-M
PENTAX-A

Auto focus:

PENTAX-F
PENTAX-FA

Thanks, Roland.
