More importantly - someone want to try these with an nForce? With the 3132 being the PCI-E version of the 3112 I reckon its very likely this driver will run a 3112 with a simple plist edit! Anyone willing to give it a try? (I don't have an Si Controller).ĭrivers: <- not sure whether I can attach them here. With the release of the Mac Pro Silicon Image have released unibin drivers for their PCI-express sata controller (the 3132). Everything is working on my machine with the exception of this newest thing. I'm running in AHCI mode on a Gigabyte GA-P35-ds3l Q6600 4gb ram. I chose the newest one which is: SiI3132_1.1.9u_Sil_Pkg.zip Having done all this, my drive isn't being recognized by the Mac OS. I actually wasn't too sure which one to choose. I downloaded Mac drivers from the siliconimage website and installed them. I followed your method using windows xp to flash the bios of the card to b7223. You gave me great hope! I bought a PCI-E card from an online retailer with the sil3132 chipset. Simply download the attached Bios package, and reflash with b7223.bin, instructions included. So what you guys have to do to convert your Sil-3132 Pci-e RAID card to a workning NON-RAID card is:ġ. Now I have installed the SiL-3132 package for OSX and it works like a charm, no modding needed. Now I found a package including both a RAID and IDE bios, version 7.2.23, reflahed with this file and Success! Windows recognized a SiL-3132 SATA controller, NON-RAID! But now when I discovered that the new bios I had flashed my card with actually was for SiL-3132 I again tried to found a other, this time hopfully a real SiL-3132, bios.

It worked and I could acces my disk until I rebooted. I then simply installed Windows SiL-3124 drivers, and it worked (Almost). In windows i used the device manager to get the device id of my card, but to my big suprise it was no longer a SiL-3132, it was a SiL-3124. And then I put this card in a box under my bed until today.Īfter reading Tomtefar's thread about how he got his card up and running (Thx Tomtefar ), I got inspiert to try modding the Device IDs and see if that could help. The problem was only that I couldn't find any drivers for Windows nor Osx that was compatible whit my new card. Found a IDE bios (Base) 7.3.0 for SiL-3132.įlashing the card was a pice of cake, and at the boot promt my new SiL-3132 card booted just fine. However, SiliconImage didn't have any Bios at all on there site, so a googled. I didn't want that so I thought I maby could flash this card to a BASE card (Not RAID).

I installed my card and to my suprise this was a RAID only card, and the only way I was able to use this card was if I erased all data on my disks and created a JBOD (1 disk) or some raid configuration (1> disk). But at first I had definetly no luck at all. I have actually had this card laying around since this thread was started. I got my Speed Dragon Sil-3132 SATA2 Raid Controller workning.
