I think this might end up being the plan. We build a few TMWDCC units and
bulk buy the components.

Well, I bought the $40 Compaq 486 notebook specifically to run DCC on-and
I'm sure there are a pile more cheap laptops out there for a similar price.
The TMW DCC software only requires an XT, so almost anything (including
Chris' 286 laptop!) will run it.
