Does anyone have data or anecdotal information on problems with Plasma III
EI system?  A recent accident in California involving off airport landing of
a IVP has brought up concerns in my mind.  I have a Performance Engines TSIO
550 with the Plasma III ignition (not flying yet) and so did the referenced
aircraft.  I am told that the cause of the accident was sudden engine
stoppage and evidence points to failure of one of the redundant EI systems,
the failure of which may have brought on the failure of the second.

I'd like to know if anyone has data on the Plasma III.  I'm also interested
in anecdotal accounts positive or negative that might help allay concerns or
lead to solutions of problems with the system.  

Has anyone used a single Plasma III and a magneto backup with a TSIO 550?
