Buffer (RedPower2)

The buffer is very similar to a chest with 5 compartments. When providing items to the buffer via Pneumatic Tubes, Pipes, or similar devices, each of the 5 input sides will fill a different compartment. The output side has access to all compartments. This is very usedul in combination with a Sorting Machine

A common application for this block is in situations where different inputs provide their materials at different rates. A regular chest could easily be filled up by stacks of single items, leaving no space for other resources.
