Hi,
I have this Apple MKIII Interface Card by The Concept Keyboard Co. Ltd that came in an Apple IIgs that I bought sometime ago. I've tried to google it, but couldn't find any information about this card. Does anyone know what it is for and what are the different connectors that it has. I'm attaching a few pictures of it.
Thanks,
Ricardo
I found the following description that seems to fit what that card looks like. I don't know if I'm on the right track or not, but from what I know a "concept keyboard" (overlay keyboard) matches this description pretty well.

Here is the link where I found the above information:

I understand the difficulty finding information about the less common cards in old Apples I have a Clear Light Superstar Card that came in my IIe that I have been able to find essentially no information about. All I know is roughly what it was used for.
Good luck with your search.
