I'd suggest getting in touch with Jecel Assumpcao Jr. 
http://www.merlintec.com/lsi/jecel.html jecel at merlintec.com who has 
designed and built many fascinating machines over the years. I'll post 
on the FONC list pointing at this list to see if anyone's interested in 
the significant synergies that might be possible :-)
