Seemed like the Off Topic forum would be a safe place to brainstorm out loud if anyone else hasn't quite
processed how little Pi computers can increase the quality of life and have fun getting there.
1.
Some Pogoplugs (E02 and v4 Mobile) it's possible to swap Debian USB sticks and it'll boot, same basic chipset. Are any of the Orange Pi models' chipsets close enough to plugin something from E02 or something else?
2. Faux Monitor support:
Seems a Pi might make use of extra monitors laying around. Say an Orange Pi runs minimally and has Team Viewer or similar. Two of them are taped across the back of two DVI monitors, and the ethernet runs to switch/router and into main computer. The main computer's own graphics adapter only allow two monitors and they're used up. For some situations, say media production where the Pi monitors are running visual controls more than 30 fps video, one would think that's two extra monitors in use for the price of a cheap graphics adapter (if it works).

Any thought process appreciated :-)
