Bassano del Grappa, Italy – October 18, 2025

ACube Systems is proud to announce, as a special gift to the community on the occasion of the 40th Anniversary of the launch of the Amiga and during the Amiga40 Germany event in Mönchengladbach from October 17–19, 2025, the release of the AmigaOS4 driver for the SiI3132 SATA2 controller.

Resized Image


With the latest U-Boot update already adding support for the SiI3132 controller, this new driver - developed in collaboration with Alfredo Amendolagine - enables AmigaOS 4 to fully utilize the Silicon Image 3132 controller, featuring two SATA2 ports on a high-performance PCIe bus. It delivers top speeds and broad compatibility with modern SATA devices, including HDDs, SSDs, and CD/DVD drives.

Most importantly, this driver will be offered completely free of charge - an exclusive gift from ACube Systems to the entire Amiga community in celebration of this milestone.

You can download the driver from the “Latest files” section on our homepage or directly clicking on this link:

Enjoy Amiga40! We certainly will!

Thank you ACube for this driver. just for my understanding, is this driver only for SAM board ? I am asking since you wrote something about SAM updated kernel needed for this driver to work...

 Many Thanks
Can the SiI3132 SATA2 controller also be used with the X5000? And which PCI-E should it be connected to in order to achieve the best possible speed? I don't need such a controller at the moment, but it's great to have the driver and to know that it can be used as an additional option at some point in the future. Thank you for this great driver.

@Maijestro

yes, it can be used on a X5000 too, you just need a free PCIe 1x slot.
