Not much need to invent new hardware, since the same can be accomplished
with off the shelf stuff for less than $500. Not a direct connect, but
then, almost direct oughtta be good enough, especially if it's fast.

BTW, in disclaimer mode, appropriate it is, and in back-handed advertisement
mode, inappropriate though it may be, we make such a box as a product that
we sell for more than it costs us to make. Details of implementation, features,
and color of case withheld to retain a semblance of non-commercialism:-)
