OcuLink eGPU works with the Dual M.2 expansion bay module

OK. Maybe one more update. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I should have them in hand in the next day or two, and want to give folks in this thread a bit of a heads-up on a few things.

First, I want to make sure some things are as clear as I can make them. I am an individual. I have family commitments and a full-time job. There are some things about the process that you might not like, but I just don’t have the time or resources to go out of my way to do anything “above and beyond”. I need to prioritize the simple stuff first, such as limiting shipping to the US and Canada early on. I am exploring that a little, but again, I am just one person. Also, even though I may have them in hand in the next couple of days, that does not mean I will be able to do much testing within the next few days. Please be patient.

Second, I cannot fully test every piece, nor do I have a wide range of docks/equipment to test on. I will be testing a few pieces on a single Framework 16 with the dual M.2 expansion bay. I will test on a custom eGPU enclosure (not too worried if that doesn’t work) and an Aoostar AG02. I will be testing with a PCIe to M.2 riser with SSD, and an RX 9070 XT. I don’t have any other hardware to test with.

I cannot accept any liability if something goes horribly wrong. All I can say is that I installed 3 of the initial batch pieces that just didn’t work plus the 1 updated revision that did work. None caused any issues with my FW16. I shipped one of the original non-working pieces and the updated piece to OVER_CL0CK as well. He has reported the first piece did not work and the revised piece does work with his DEG1. It seems highly unlikely that something catastrophic would go wrong, BUT if you decide to acquire one of these, you are doing so at your own risk.

Finally, the estimated price will be about $60 US each plus shipping. I am still working on how much shipping in Canada will be. Shipping in US will be $10. These numbers are not final, again because I don’t even have them yet. Heck, I don’t even know 100% that any of them will work, but even assuming they work as well as the revised piece, there could still be “duds”.

I will only be able to accept PayPal and Venmo.

Oh. And there’s still no list. Assuming things go well, I will provide more information in this thread first so that those who have been following along here know about it first.
