Screwdrive AF is going the way of the Dodo on everything except the most
compact Pentax branded lenses. As the owner and still occasional user of
a *ist-D and DS I recommend replacing whatever you're using that's prior
to a K100D Super. You won't regret it. The D sits on a shelf and the
DS is hardly ever used. Then you won't have to worry about lens
compatibility, for a while at least.
I'm not sure if the 24-70 is SDM only but it is internal focus motor only.

or the other."
Pentax has not produced any dual drive lenses since the first two SDM
lenses--the 16-50 and 50-135.
