I would like to see a expansion bay with a pci switch to share the x8 PCI lanes between:
- x8 OcuLink2 female connector + video IN port (usb-c or hdmi) so that we can still use the laptop screen with a eGPU.
- one or two extra nvme slots.
- one or several extra expansion modules so we can use standard framework modules to add ports.
I would also like to see what is needed on the other side of the OcuLink cable to connect a standard framework dGPU expansion bay to make it into a eGPU.
It will need to have a video OUT port so that we can send back the video signal to the laptop just as if the dGPU was in the laptop instead of external and a usb-c port for powering the eGPU.
I think this would provide the most flexibility to use and re-use the standard framework parts.
