Nick, others:

Might it be possible to use FM Pro 2.0's AppleEvents to talk to a custom 
program that does the controlling he wants? I realize this means 
familiarity with AppleEvents and all, but it seems to me that you should 
be able to write some sort of application to control equipment that 
accepts AppleEvent scripts and commands.

Not as smooth as an external code resource, but might work...
