But my (limited!) understanding is that it's not a platform problem
you are solving, but one of this special kind of controller, which
nobody else would ever run into.

Real computer scientists despise the idea of actual  hardware.  Hard-
ware has limitations, software doesn't. It's a real shame that Turing
machines are so poor at I/O.
