Does the EOMA spec have ethernet? I forget. Neither housing lists USB ethernet as a thing it has, which seems odd if not (especially for the desktop housing). Having an ethernet port in the bargain would make the pass-through card pretty exciting. Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

No, EOMA68 doesn't have Ethernet. But it does have USB, all the way up to USB 3.1.

I think you need to buy an additional Ethernet-to-USB adapter.

I think you need to buy an additional Ethernet-to-USB adapter.
Would be nice if such an adapter were part of a housing, but I realise there's limited resources for the housings already on offer. Thoughts for the future, I suppose :)

yeahyeah. LAN9512 on-board, so you don't lose the number of USB ports. the BOM in volume of the micro-desktop is going to be around $6-7. a variant with a USB-ETH on-board would be around $2 more and the casework would have to be slightly larger... big redesign, different product basically.

That's going to be hard-wired to a USB hub, I presume?
Would it not be better to provide one or two internal USB sockets, into which one could put an Ethernet USB-stick if that's what one wanted, but would also allow one to alternatively add a wifi stick, or bluetooth, or say a chaos-key: http://altusmetrum.org/ChaosKey/

the LAN9512 is an odd IC which is itself a 2-port USB hub plus an ETH-PHY all in one package. so it could be used *as* the USB hub, taking up one of the 2 EOMA68 ports but then providing 2 more, so you'd get 3 external USB ports on a micro-desktop-upgraded PCB.

ah good point - just like in the laptop housing.
yyeah let me think about that - space-wise it would be quite a bit larger than the micro-desktop. more of a macro-desktop...

i had to take it off the standard, it's explained in the questions and in more detail in the ecocomputing whitepaper http://rhombus-tech.net/whitepapers/ecocomputing_07sep2015/
