Are there any NBT/tileentity reader peripherals?

This should be fairly easy, but I don't see any peripherals that do so currently. Am I blind, or are there none? If there are none, would someone be interested if I made one?

(And yes, I realize this could be…interestingly gamebreaking in some ways.)

There used to be Random Peripherals, however this is no longer under development, though I believe it still works.

Edit: Opps, ignore me, I don't think this can read data from tile entities.

Random Peripherals was actually the inspiration for me asking the question (well, that and trying to control a MFR steam boiler). But yes, it reads items, not blocks.

I think you can use the openperipherals mod to read the fuel and maybe even power from a mfr bioreactor. I'm sure items work, I recently set something up in my own world that had to read the items.
