I think this means that the connector was not turned upside-down to put it on
the other side; instead, it was rotated 180 degrees.  Thus, when looking 
directly at the expansion connector, if pin X was the leftmost pin on the
A1000, then it is still the leftmost pin on the A500.

For an illustration, take a serial cable connector and rotate it 180 degrees,
then flip it upside down, and notice the difference.
