It seems to me that this is your tightest requirement:  if the computer
*must* operate certain equipment, there are few workarounds if it
doesn't have an interface or driver for the equipment's interface.  By
comparison, there are often workarounds for software deficiencies.  Can
you specify exactly what this equipment is?
