I found this, a USB 2.0 connected chip with an RGB output.  It also looks
like it connects to I2C.  So, for a convenient EOMA-68 "passthrough", a USB
hub connecting to this chip and also to the USB pins looks like an option.

Or something like it.  No, it's not a video-passthrough, but it does turn an
EOMA-68 compliant device into a USB-attached screen.
