For your SATA drive to fit your CF-29's caddy, you would need this:

A few of us have done it, me included, and as far as we know Techtough are the only ones who make these properly. It totally transforms the old CF-29, especially with a SSD drive.

Thanks, I will have to get one when I get some spare money. Meantime I need to get the quirks out of the Linux OS.

17.3 is too quirky to suit me lately.

The Mepis Antix /Debian or whatever seem to be better.

I must have MX-14.4 on ten computers and USB drives. At least. Two or three tweaks and no problem.

CF-29(all marks) ,30(MK1-3) ,31MK1-3 so far) 51,52GUN, 53A and J......maybe on at least one CF-M34. Oh and the 19's.

Seems like more than 10 but the CF-30 drive runs in 30 and 31. 31J changed touch-pad brand which screwed us up for a while.
