Carlos Pombo Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 @ kemikal-aa Sil 3512 works great. You can boot from it. u need to add ID,s inserted int kext and permitions correctly setup. generally ~/Extensons/AppleVIAATA.kext/Contents/info.plist or ~/Extensons/IOATA.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleVIAATA.kext/Contents/info.plist if you don't have AppleVIAATA in your leo setup get it from a Tiger DVD using pacifist my IDs are <string>0x43791002 0x43761002 0x528810B9 0x31491106 0x35121095 0x00e310de 0x005410de 0x005510de 0x2360197b 0x2361197b 0x2363197b 0x2365197b 0x2366197b 0x00ee10de 0x28258086 0x28208086</string> do not forget to chown and chmod and touch sudo -s chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/... yr full patch to .../Extensions/*.* chmod -R 755 /Volumes/... yr full patch to .../Extensions/*.* touch /Volumes/... yr full patch to .../Extensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drib Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi guys, I see you both have a working sil 3512 setup. I just bought a PCI card with this chipset, but I can't get RAID to work. I installed using the Kaliway 10.5.2 which has the AppleVIAATA.kext with the correct values already in there. Is there something else I have to do? When I create a raid set in the bios, the 2 disks get unrecognized in OSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 "Working" is a relative term here.. the hack used basically forces AppleVIAATA.kext to load for the hardware, as this a very general-purpose IDE controller driver, it loads & works. What this is *not* is a working driver intended for SiL 3512 hardware, so any clever functions (such as RAID) are unlikely to work. The SiL 3132 has a proper driver, iirc, which supports RAID etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwa314 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Would this allow a Sil 3512 Cardbus adaptor to work on my Powerbook G3 (Pismo)? I'm looking at the Rosewill RC-604 card, which isn't advertised as being Mac compatible but does have the Sil 3512 chipset that seems to working for some people. The card is cheap enough that I may just buy it and try it, but I wanted to check here first to see if anybody has any idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach-os Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 The SiL 3132 has a proper driver, iirc, which supports RAID etc. that´s the half of the truth. the sil3132 driver doesn´t work proper on leo if you use more than 3.5GB ram. in this case you will have kp´s and freezes. still waiting desperately for the 64Bit driver just wanted to mention that before someone is going to spend some money for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafoo Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi, I have this chipset on a pcmcia card plugged into my d630. I'm trying to make it work but it don't seems to be ok. I tried to flash the bios in windows but I don't know if it worked or not because it was not able to give me info with the -v in SiFlashBios something. I've edited the viaata.kext as it is said in the thread. In my system profiler, I've got a PC card known as pci1095,3512: Function: Mass Storage Controller Vendor: Unknown Type: CardBus Vendor ID: 4245 Device ID: 13586 It seems to be ok but I can't see any Hard drive. In the serial ata device tree I only see my internal HDD and a slot for another one but no trace of my external HDD. What can I do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafoo Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Oh sorry, the SI3512 Actually I'm experiencing big problemswith the card on vista (blue screen during the boot sequence when there is the green thing moving ^^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach-os Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 there is no mac driver for the sil3512 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafoo Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 No there is not. I tried what is written at the beginning of the thread but it did not work. Actually I might have a problem on my card because it is not working at all on Vista (blue screen when booting ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM! Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I managed to make work an eSata / SATA - RAID card based on Sil3512 chipset with AppleVIAATA.kextv0.2 under 10.5.6 Retail Leopard install on GA-P35-DS3L. I edited the .kext as said in the begining of the topic : added 0x35121095 ID's in Info.plist The kext can be found via google there is a google group so you should find it. I can't post mine (already modified) in here (rules). Anyway, i just figured out that it doesn't work anymore. It just worked once and without hot-pluging. Trying to figure it out...

AndreaGalileo Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 How to i get SiI5723 working is SL? Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach-os Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 5723 is a steelvine hardware controller. after a correct configuration the raid should be recognized by the os. usually it´s done by some hardware settings - jumper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks peach-os but could you be a little more specific? The steelvine controller works great with windows 7. What kind of jumper should i change and how will it affect my raid configuration. Thanks.
