CF-18 port replicator with CF-19?

#1 Post by User32 »

Is this possible? I'm considering buying this port replicator: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191803424109 but if the VEB181U doesn't work with the 19 then I probably won't.

Hah, BJCS partially screwed themself over by saying that you can use the cheaper CF-18 dock with the 19: https://archive.is/p1Rmc

Age-old question answered me thinks!

Hi,

I'm using the very same cf-veb181 dock with my cf19mk3 and cf19mk6. works fine.
only caveat so far: slow usb speed via dock

Up to CF19 mk4 lists the CF-veb181au as the proper dock. According to the official Panasonic brochures.

CF 19 mk5 and later list the CF-veb191 as the proper dock.

YES YOU CAN!!!

You can also EASILY modify the registry to overcome the max VGA resolution output of 1280x1024 to something more standard like 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 :)

Already did that, running a recapped Samsung 226CW at WUXGA/1680x1050 over VGA.
