Fitting an Indivision ECS V2 scandoubler into new A500 case?

[Nick_66]

This year the new case from team A1200.net will arrive for the A500. I have supported this campaign and can't wait to get one!

Only problem is fitting the new Indivision ECS V2 scandoubler for the Amiga 500.

This scandoubler comes with a flatcable with an VGA connector. Does anybody know if this VGA connector with flatcable can be replaced  by a flatcable with a DVI connector or HDMI connector?

Not sure if the VGA connector will fit the new A500 case?

I think it will. It is mentioned on the project page and also on the video. The trapdoor will go on the back, near the floppy drive.

Watch here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/new-compatible-case-for-amiga-500-plus#/ around the 3:30 mark

I am also very interested in one of those cases and on this particular trapdoor since I also own an Indivision ECS (V1). I could not support the campaign from the beginning, but I hope I'll be able to buy one later. Let us know how the Indi ECS VGA port fits on the new trapdoor

I have done the hacking way. Not the the most beautifull way, yet it is installed and I will not see it when the machine is in use. Yet this is my first case-mode-hack that I have done, so bear with me on this.

I really hope the VGA connector will fit the back trapdoor. I asked the A1200 team about this, but I am a bit confused by there answer:

Will the flatcable with the VGA connector fit into this case? Is the case already prepared for such a connector?
Yes and no.
Yes you can use the rear trapdoor that has a VGA out opening.

No because the trapdoor is just a pass-through. It is not meant for the VGA connector to be screwed and mounted onto.

Can't make any sense of it 

When I have received the new case and fitted with the mainboard and scandoubler it will post some pictures on this forum.

My interpretation is that it does not have means to properly mount the VGA connector, it may be just an opening and you can pass your VGA flat cable through it, but not secure it, it would be loose all the time

I hope I'm wrong.
