Mike a couple of points
- Possibility of providing control signals either by wireless and or wired ethernet. I've got a USB extender which can use cat 5 cable to send USB signals up to 60M (I think) but it would make sense to be able to use real network connectivity.
- Provision for some type of networking back to a master unit for remote sensors and or controls. Preferably one that does not require eveything to be directly wired back to the master (1-wire can handle extra stations added to the end of a line but I don't know if it's fast or versatile enough for all purposes)
