Sure is.  On all other systems, its -5V, but on the 500, its -12V.  I suppose
because they don't have -5V on the motherboard.  The A1000 did, and any machine
with slots must because its part of the bus spec.  I still think it was a bad
idea for this on the A500, though of course anyone designing a Genlock after
the A500 difference was announced could compensate.  The A1300 was one of the
few that came before.
