The question should be why would you use this instead of the latest SCSI2SD?

Regarding the scsi2sd: I've had mixed success. While it's more or less working, it often won't boot if the computer has been on for a while already (yes, could be a sign of another issue...my SCSI bus -and my A3000 in general- has always had some voodoo on it.) The drives I've created (PFS) always seem to just be a couple bits shy of a disk error. Sometimes I'll get those very bad PFS errors etc. Needless to say I've been keeping regular backups on my system.
I'm hoping the new Buddha will be a dependable solution. It's new, so I'm giving it time before adding it to the list of storage systems that have failed me. Maybe all of my woes, regardless of the technology involved are a big fat PEBKAC. Honestly, I'm willing to keep trying stuff until I find a solution that works for me. I'll just ebay the stuff that doesn't. Fortunately, as these things go, the Buddha is pretty reasonably priced.
