Hello Luke,
is the pass-through card usable with the Micro Desktop Housing too? If yes, I think it makes sense to mention it clearly on the crowsupply page.
BTW: Are you still working on making freedombox run on the eoma68?

What's the use case for that? I may be missing something, but a pass-through card in a Micro Desktop housing is at most like a 2 ports USB hub and an HDMI to VGA converter for 90 $ ?

... exactly. it's possible but... mmmm... why would you want to do it? i mean yeah if you already have the kit, fine, but it's not something i'd actively say to people "hey go get these it'll be worth it" whereas the laptop + passthrough card now that's really something.

For me it seems ataractive, if I could attach my taplet or smartphone too the computer and use it whith keyboard, mouse and screen. But probably it is not so important and atracitve, that it should be mentionend in the campaign. But if someone askes, now I know.

... yehhh except it's complicated enough as it is, and there's not a huge advantage...

if they didn't have "oh anything with USB-ETH we consider to be a toy" on the page i would prioritise it a bit more.
