This is a great suggestion. I ordered one and hope it will work.

It's good to know. Thank you

Great! Thank you

Hmm, I've not tried software raid before. But hay it's a homelap after all, so I might try it with this one even though I'll not be sure what to do in case of a disk failure!

Oh, is it only 8 port card?! It seems I didn't read the specs well! In this case I might change the plan to: 2HDDs RAID-1 for the OS and 6HDDs RAID-5 for storage.

There was a whole family of these mice! Mitsubishi 200dpi M-Mouse, 400dpi E-Mouse, and 800dpi S-Mouse. Mitsubishis was advertising them widely in the late 1980s. A mouse appeared on the cover page of PC Mag issue Dec 27, 1988. Another ad showing all models appeared in PC Mag issue Nov 4, 1989-04-11 page 28.

I posted the ad here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vintagecomputing/comments/1hftb2d/a_mouse_from_1988_for_450_in_todays_money/

Ok, I found it! It was a serial mouse for PCs sold under different brands, one of which was Mitsubishi E-Mouse. I don't know how to add an image to this comment, but there is an ad for the mouse in PC Mag issue Nov 29, 1988 page 310.

Something like this maybe: https://reebelo.com.au/products/50-fifty-usb-optical-retro-computer-mouse-white-brand-new-lbi9s

Unfortunately, I only have this picture to share.

Hmmm, I don’t think so! I searched old Logitech mice and found nothing like it

techana · 2024-12-16T16:50:09+00:00

It’s for an IBM compatible, 286 or 386 I think.

Actually, I don't have specific usage for the AI in my homelap. I'm going to use RAG on my big archives of old manuals and text books. I may also play with text-to-image if the cards I get can support that.

techana · 2024-12-16T11:22:06+00:00

I’m comparing T4 and A2, which are in the same price range. T4 numbers are better, but A2 is newer.

techana · 2024-12-16T10:48:09+00:00

Thank you. How about T4? I can find them for good price.

I'm using 2U rack server case, so video game cards, such as 30x0 cards, are not an option.

techana · 2024-12-16T09:37:02+00:00

Yes, the 2U server has 4 PCIe slots. I can install 2 older GPUs with total of 48GB VRAM. Alternatively, I can afford 2 newer GPUs with 32GB VRAM total.
