I've been trying to design one that takes VGA in as that's what servers come with. An LTE modem is trivial to add.

  So is a VGA digitizer that plugs into a USB port, presumably?

    For my design I don't want that, because then we're just making it even more complex. There's a VGA encoder I've been working on, I don't recall the chip ID but I found it in the Lantronix Spiders I have. I've been slowly trying to build a HAT with that that pipes into the Pi for everything else.

      How many of these do you expect to manufacture?

        If I can keep the cost down, I'm aiming for $100/unit, then I think I could sell quite a few. The nearest competitor, the Lantronix Spider, is $300+ if you can even find them.

  COTS VGA to HDMI adaptors are readily available.

    For my design I don't want that, because then we're just making it even more complex. I'd have to have an HDMI ancoder, then a VGA to HDMI encoder that plugs into that. There's a VGA encoder I've been working on, I don't recall the chip ID but I found it in the Lantronix Spiders I have. I've been slowly trying to build a HAT with that that pipes into the Pi for everything else. Then there is no daisy chaining adapters.
