Yes you can use a 1.3 kickstart chip in an A500+.

The last revisions (6A/7) of the regular A500 also had ECS Denise (and KS 2.04), AFAIK. So the difference between those and a A500+ is basically "only" the Agnus, the standard chipmem size, some PCB differences, that 2MB chipmem doesn't require Gary connection on the A500+ and that the Plus also has an on-board clock battery (prone to leak).

If you plug a 1.3 rom into an a500+ you'll have 512k chip ram because that is the maximum KS 1.3 can recognize.  I think the rest of the memory will be addressed as "slow" memory ("fast" memory with chip memory bandwidth).

Huh, whatever gave you that idea? The Agnus decides maximum chipmem size, not the KS...
