Anyone have any experience with using the Buddha in an A3000?

I've used it in an Amiga 3000 before. It works quite well actually, and is shocking simple to setup:-) You can even boot off the Buddha.

Is the performance as good if not better that the A3000's SCSI?

That would depend on the drive largely. The performance seemed to be on level with the built in SCSI, but I honestly never ran benchmarks. The nice thing is you can use absurbly large HD sizes cheap, where SCSI would be expensive.

What IDE specification does the Buddha compare to in the PC world? Is it considered UDMA?

No way to UDMA, the Buddha does not DMA. I'd guess it probably is comparable to PIO-3 or PIO-4. Even the newest UDMA drives are backwards compatible though, so they will work.

Does anyone know if there is even an expected date for the Catweasel MKIV release?  That will be the PCI version right?  Thanks!

There is no announced release date AFAIK, though it is my understanding I should have stock by mid October.

Yes this version will be PCI only. There will be Prometheus drivers though, so Classic Amiga users won't be left out:-)

@tjaoz

I know, I know. You want people to buy Elbox's Fast ATA controller, no suprise here.

BTW the Fast ATA controller is dreadful. Who the hell can live with 100% CPU load(!!!) on a 68060 and still only get 8MB/s?

100% CPU load, get a cpu monitoring utility and be amazed:-)
