>As I briefly mentioned yesterday, someone mentioned in this blog's comments a successful M.2 socket installation on the empty header on the Pi 500 (something I attempted, rather poorly!). With a few added components, and 3.3V supplied to a pad on the bottom via a bench power supply, the M.2 slot works just fine, allowing the use of NVMe SSDs or other PCIe devices.

The guy with the comment about compliance testing would have failed probably hit the problem square on the head. That's the reason the Pi 0W didn't have an external antenna jack even though it's populated for one - that would have required a lot more/different testing to make it compliant with regulation.

That is a good point. I had not really thought about it and I guess I missed that comment. I bet you are spot-on.
