Chopping up your A520 wouldn't be necessary, although doing so is hardly a sin because they're horrible things to see sticking out the back of a 500, which is big enough as it is. I got a 1200 and never looked back.

It'd be easy enough to make a cable that'd work. DB23 connectors are hard to get hold of so most people just cut down a DB25. Amiga video socket has 5v and 12v, of which I'm not sure which the 520 needs, but you can get both voltages from PSUs with 5.25" drive molex connectors (yes that exists). If you're lucky it might be a 5V device in which case any phone charger made in past five or ten years will work. Sound is of course just a matter of plugging it in to the sound hole.
