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. *********************************************************** * Jeff Davis * Relax!

You can probably turn a 1000 peripheral around and successfully plug it
into a 500, but you'll need to hang it over the edge of the table or else
raise the 500...
