I think the following, which is derived from one of Glenn's postings 
to the list [1], is a solution:

concat (
   suffix (concat ("0", binary-to-ascii (16, 8, "",
     substring (hardware, 1, 1))),2),
   suffix (concat ("0", binary-to-ascii (16, 8, "",
     substring (hardware, 2, 1))),2),
   suffix (concat ("0", binary-to-ascii (16, 8, "",
     substring (hardware, 3, 1))),2),
   suffix (concat ("0", binary-to-ascii (16, 8, "",
     substring (hardware, 4, 1))),2),
   suffix (concat ("0", binary-to-ascii (16, 8, "",
     substring (hardware, 5, 1))),2),
   suffix (concat ("0", binary-to-ascii (16, 8, "",
     substring (hardware, 6, 1))),2)
)
