Anything that will work on the A500 will work on the A500 plus and vice versa. Although the 1MB trap door upgrade for the plus will been seen as 512kb when used with the A500.

The A500 plus has only one advantage and that's the 2MB chip RAM support. Comes with 1MB on the board and 1MB in the trap door.

As I said further up, 1MB expansion on a standard A500 will show as 512... I have done this a few times in the past and when my A500 plus started playing up and I switched back to a rev6 board this was also the case.
