Or more to the point, it could perhaps be used to export a Mk1 unit over ethernet

Well, yes, maybe, but that certainly isn't what I would use one for. Are there really people out there willing to spend a hundred bucks to network enable a mk1? It wouldn't be any faster than USB and the money seems like it would be better spent as a (partial) payment on a mk2.

Anyway, to me the better use would be as a peripheral bus. If you buried one of these boxes in your dash you could have more than 2 hard drives, a GPS connection, bluetooth, wifi, extra serial ports, OBD2 interface, etc. all hooked up to the empeg at the same time using off the shelf hardware and existing linux drivers.
