Absolutely!

It will be backwards, and you'll have to look at the back end of it.

You can either saw off the flange on the bottom metal plate, or (better), cut
away some of the plastic on the bottom edge of the expansion connector access
hole on the A1000 itself.

You'll have to prop it up with something to take the weight of the unit.

None of these are a real problem, and it is a wonderful way to expand your
A1000.
