I feel like a nut asking this...are all accessories that are compatible with the m100/105 also compatible with the m130 model?

Hugh,

I could be wrong, but from what I know, the accessories for the m130 also fit the 125, and the 500 series. I have not seen anything that says the 130 and 100/105 are compatible. Anyone else have a better answer?

I think Tuff is correct ... check out:

Look at the "Expansion Capabilities" ... All the models above (and including) m125 indicates unit uses the "Universal Connector", but the m105 uses "Peripheral Connector".

You will be able to share peripherals/accessories using the U/C, but not with the m10x series.

The original question used the term "accessories", so my answer will deal with that aspect.

The previous posts are correct in stating that the m100 and m105 use the older "serial" connector while the m125 and m130 use the same "Universal Connector" as the m500, m505 and m515, thus any "peripherals" must have the different connectors also.

However, "accessories" such as the colored/personalized faceplates and fitted cases should work fine across the entire m1xx line.
