Sound
The sound is generated by SN76489, the same chip as in SG-1000 and Sega Mark III. Japanese and South Korean models does have the FM Sound Unit integrated onto the PCB, leaving the expansion slot free to connect the SK-1100. However, it was not included on Overseas systems, maybe due to failure in market. Some games which was not released in Japan (but some released in South Korea) support the FM sound without any modification.
