Phill,
 
I understand your problem. Several years ago I had almost exactly 
the same problem with an image scanning system on an RSX-11M 
platform. My solution then, which should still be valid today, is 
to have the DRIVER to the additional validation. While it is not 
pretty, it is feasible.
 
This solution is truly only feasible for the realtime IO, but 
that is where it matters the most.
 
I hope that the above is helpful. If I have been unclear, or if I 
can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me via 
Email or phone.
