I own 6 Times unmodified A500s (Rev 6.A 8372A)
2 of mine A500 Revs. 6A are equipped with 2 perfectly functional ACA500Plus

Same, 2x 6A and 2x ACA500+. No soldering.

One of the best things about the ACA500+ is you just plug it in, and a few minutes later you have WB booting from a CF card.

Nothing else is needed, no looking up how to do it, etc. (For 32GB+ CF you must look up how to remove non-FAT partitions in Windows, but Amiga is not to blame for that ofc, and it has nothing to do with any HW expansion for Amiga.)

And for purists that run e.g. original software that can't handle any expansion, it has the Cloaking Device menu to make the Amiga vanilla, so you never have to unplug the ACA.
