TStik can do this with serial4 (now supported by TINI) which has hardware 
handshaking, which is I think required by FireCracker.

We have prototypes of two JSimm boards which will do this.
JSimm.DIO has 24 rugged, high current I/Os (150 mA min at 35 VDC max):
http://jsimm.systronix.com/jsimm_dio.htm

JSimm.AIO has 12-bit ADC with 8 inputs and 8 outputs:
http://jsimm.systronix.com/jsimm_aio.htm

The data on the web areas of both of these is a bit out of date, but we 
really do have working hardware for each,
complete with XML tagging memory and classes to support reading and writing 
that memory.

Of course you can add some of this I/O to the 1-Wire net, too. We have a 
JSimm.1Wire board which can be either a master or slave, and has both ADC 
and DAC on it:
http://jsimm.systronix.com/jsimm_1wire.htm
This board is available in a live TStik demo with servlets under the Tynamo 
HttpServer, this page has a link to the demo:
http://www.systronix.com/tinistik/tstik72nb_data.html
The JSimm.1-Wire is being held back until we implement a much more rugged 
and robust 1-Wire interface than the DS2480B.

In the meantime we just finished another build of TStik, so both it and 
TILT400 are in stock, and TStik is still on a special price. The TILT400 
Pro has the Embedlet connector with power, I2C and SPI all ready to go. See 
the documents here:
http://www.systronix.com/tinistik/documentation.html
I have yet to finish the quick references for each of these.

Ted, keep up the great work!

Bruce
