Nice work to whoever created this. I am sure lots of people will like what you have created.

How does the performance compare to UltraSatan and CosmosEx?

The problem with any ACSI device (IIRC) is the mythical "Bad DMA". I assume that this device is as likely to suffer from issues as any other ACSI device? For those reading, it's an as yet undiagnosed issue with the DMA controller chip and grounds/termination on some ST motherboards. I personally have never seen this, just read about the problem.
