Just a few questions about the SK1100 Keyboard.

Was it sold for the Mark III or just happened to work on it?
When connected to the Mark III could you also connect the printer (sp-400) and Data recorder (SR-1000) into it?
If so could you actually use them, was there software for them?

This website seems to answer most of this... Hopefully its of help :)

Thanks for that it was a big help,
It seems that because the Mark III was backward compatible with the the SG1000 it will all work.
But It doesnt look like it was specifically sold for the Mark III.

The reason for the questions was that I am trying to decide if I should put it in my book as a peripheral for the Mark III, but technically its not itjust happens to work for it.
Decisions....

Well no because it came out a year before the Mark III was released.

So should I list these items as Mark III peripherals even though they werent made for it but do work with it?
Opinions please

I'm not sure what the structure of your section on peripherals is going to be. But it seems like it should be reasonable to list them, with some kind of designation that indicates that they are compatible peripherals from a previous generation platform.

Good idea, I really wanted to add them as they are quite unique.
