Hard drive adapter in media bay experiment...huh?

Well...I talked myself into trying out one of the generic hard drive adapters and retrofitting it into one of my older CD modules. Everything worked and looked great. I slipped in a older Hitachi laptop drive I had lying around and plugged it in and walllaaah! The 160 gig drive came up fine. I could...

What exactly does my "wireless ready pocket" mean

Hi all...So according to my model number on my new CF-30 (CF-30KQPAXAM), mine has a "wireless ready pocket". Does that mean that all I have to add is the gobi card and then use the verizon set up application or is there more that I have to add besides the card? I picked up an original GPS ...

Installed windows 7 pro 32 bit but says unknown devices?

Will the GPS from a CF-18 work in a CF-19?

Hi all...so I am finally getting around to upgrading from my trusty old CF-18 and am looking at going to a CF-19 with a core 2 duo and moving to windows 7. I was wondering if by any chance I could transfer my GPS unit from the CF-18 into the 19. Is this even possible, or if there are any tricks to d...

Anyone try powder coating the cover on their CF-18?

OK, so maybe i'm board. :rolleyes: ..but I was thinking a nice bright osha orange would sure make my little CF-18 a lot easier to find. The cover of the LCD is made out of magnesium right? I have a powder coating company who has done some real nice work when I restored my 1970 Jeepster who said they...

Re: Restore disks for CF-18 mark 1 with tablet PC operating sys

Hi all...OK...so here is the latest. The MK1 recovery CD set I got off ebay must have been for the touchscreen versions because I got the dreaded "will not work with this model" message. I sent a PM to Rob to confirm if he had the "digitizer" version that would work with my speci...
