I haven't worked at a bike shop in over 20 years (used to work at Sweet Petes) and its amazing how far bike tech has come.
I've never seen a hybrid brake system like that, but it looks a lot easier to maintain than a traditional hydraulic disc brake. After watching a video on these, swapping out the cable should be as simple as an old cantilever or V- brake. Just be sure you have a good pair of cutters.
The first gen Mountain Cycles Pro Stop back in 92 were cable operated hydraulic. Same with the AMP/Rock Shox brakes.
