Huh, I've got virtually the same problem. Have a basically hardware-ready product (the DiskRacer) for about two years now and I am afraid that more years will pass until I get to do the (very similar type of) software work for it.

Let's get in touch off-list and maybe we come up with something workable or I tap on your solution ;-)
