                    ^^^^^^
The expansion connector on a 500 is flipped Front to Back from the A1000
expansion connector.

WARNING : DO NOT PLUG AN A1000 PERIPHERAL ONTO AN A500 UPSIDE DOWN.

A peripheral for the A1000 "may" be usable on the A500 if it is plugged on
correct side up.  The Front of an A1000 peripheral will be facing the Back
when connected to an A500.
