After earlier posting on the Magura cable to hydraulic converter for rim brakes, I stumbled upon the TPR Parabox. Appears to be a similar concept to the Magura (front and rear cables into the box mounted under the stem, hydraulic lines out), but specifically mated to their disc brakes and less expensive than the Magura. As a one handed rider who spent 30 years wrestling a big steel frame to a halt with first a single front brake, and later pulling two cables with a bar mounted lever and splitter, often with a trail a bike in tow, the notion of stopping more efficiently with boosted effort is somewhat attractive. If it can be accomplished without changing the nature of the bike (coaster brake on back), or trying to understand how to balance a fairly complex fluid pressure equation, all the better. Would love to see, hear what you can come up with.
