onboard Ethernet driver for the AmigaOne X1000 |
| hardware OS4 posted by kas1e on 26-Mar-2026 20:48:36 (94 reads) |
@All
Since beginning owners of AmigaONE x1000 have no ability to use onboard ethernet driver due to different issues preventing of making it.
With this opensource version i hope to cover this gap; download it from os4depot while it hot !
https://os4depot.net/share/driver/network/pa6t_eth.lha
Driver features:
- 1 Gbps full duplex
- Used combo of DMA, MAC (OS4's ReadConfigLong/WriteConfigLong) and IOB (direct ECAM access) onboard devices.
- Interrupts with batch processing up to 64 packets per wakeup (currently only RX path is interrupt driven). IRQ handler itself also uses direct ECAM access to DMA because of IRQ context.
- All errata based workarounds found in Linux version (errata 5971, PKTHDRCNT reset, etc.)
- Current transfer speed (local network download): ~27 MB/s which is ~22% of 1 Gbps wire speed.
The source code available on github there:
https://github.com/kas1e/pa6t_eth
Have fun !

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present version 2.0 of the PDF plugin for Hollywood. This plugin can be used to create and view PDF documents from Hollywood scripts and contains the most advanced PDF rendering engine available on Amiga systems. The plugin was formerly known as Polybios and was renamed for version 2.0 because the old name caused some confusion. Version 2.0 is a major update which, in the spirit of Hollywood 11 which has lots of optimizations for smaller executables, now contains two separate flavours of the plugin: A full version that includes the full PDF renderer and a light version which is much smaller because it only contains the engine to create PDFs. Furthermore, it's also possible to directly load PDF pages into Hollywood vector brushes now. Finally, the PDF plugin supports the macOS arm64 and Linux arm64 platforms now.
The plugin is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (m68k, m881), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (x86), Linux (ppc, arm, arm64, x86, x64), macOS (ppc, x86, x64, arm64), Windows (x86, x64), Android (arm, arm64) and iOS (arm, arm64) are provided.

SiI3132 SATA2 Driver – 1.2 Released for Father's Day, in Honor of Jay Miner |
| software OS4 posted by elwood on 20-Mar-2026 13:54:20 (88 reads) |
Bassano del Grappa, Italy – March 19, 2026
Today, March 19th, is Father's Day in Italy (Festa del Papà ) — and what better occasion to celebrate than by honoring the father of the Amiga himself, Jay Miner? The visionary engineer and chip designer who gave life to the Amiga back in 1985 deserves to be remembered not just with words, but with something tangible for the community he helped create.
For this reason, ACube Systems has chosen today to release version 1.2 of the SiI3132 SATA2 driver for AmigaOS 4.1 — a small tribute to Jay Miner's enduring legacy.
What's new in version 1.2:
Performance & Code Efficiency — General code improvements for better overall performance and optimization.
SCSI Command Handling — Error response management for SCSI commands has been significantly improved, resulting in greater robustness during operation.
Burning Process — The handling of disc burning phases has been refined for improved reliability when working with CD/DVD drives.
As with the very first release back in October 2025 — unveiled as a special gift during the Amiga40 Germany event in Mönchengladbach to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Amiga — this update is completely free of charge. It has always been our intention to give back to this incredible community, and that spirit remains unchanged.
The driver continues to support HDDs, SSDs, and optical drives via SATA2 on PCIe cards based on the Silicon Image SiI3132 controller, delivering high performance and stability on AmigaOS 4.1.
You can download the driver from the “Latest files” section on our homepage or directly clicking on this link:
https://acube-systems.biz/download.php?file=sii3132sata_dev_v1.2.lha
Happy Father's Day — and thank you, Jay. 🙏

Old Amiga Future Issue 152 in german & english now online |

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present the first plugin exclusively for Hollywood 11: Coderise It's called MP3Enc and allows scripts to use the new sound export interface introduced with Hollywood 11 to encode sound streams as MP3s. Constant and variable bitrates as well as certain quality settings are supported. It's also possible to directly record audio data as MP3 now.
The plugin is available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (x86), Linux (arm, arm64, ppc, x86, x64), macOS (arm64, ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64), Android and iOS are provided. Hollywood 11 is strictly required.
Note that on AmigaOS 3 it's highly recommended to use the FPU version of the plugin because otherwise MP3 encoding will be very slow since the MP3 encoder used by the plugin is heavy on floating point operations.
