I was gonna say make sure you press the assembly HARD.  I know this tends to go against all that is sensable, but I had all sorts of problems with my Indy ECS, and it seemed like it barely stayed in the socket.  I took the advice of some guys on this board, and pressed it so much the MB was flexing, and it popped into place, and all is fine.  I am glad you got it working.  It is nice to use a regular monitor with the A2000.  I don't know how you ran the cable that connects to the monitor, but here is what I did.  I found an old serial card with places to mount DB9 connectors.  I removed the metal strip from the card with the pre-punched holes, and mounted it where the toaster board would go, then attached the VGA connector from the Indy there.  Looks like that is how it came from the factory.  Has good strain relief, and works perfectly.  The VGA cable on the Indy is just long enough to come out from under the power supply/floppy drive bracket assembly, and reach to the back, to the right of the power supply where the toaster board would go.

Nope, Denise plugged in fine...It was the Indy ECS that was so hard to plug in.  Same problem, just different place.  I plugged the Denise in first. :)
