Teo, is it possible to swap a CF-18 dual PC card cage assembly into the CF-19? Unplug the 19 EX + PC cage and plug in a dual PC cage from the 18? Happen to have an extra CF-18 on hand (thanks to Blair!), so already have the extra PC cage.[/quote]
For all you guys that are planning to install the PCMCIA gps into the CF-19 or to CF-18 without sacrificing the other slot.
Here is the solution. It require a bit of soldering though but I know you can do it. "take out that big Cmos battery and it its housing socket and then just replace it with an smaller one like the cmos battery on CF-28, 29 and etc or maybe buy a new one from watch repair shop". If you are handy enough, place a hirose connector that match up the cmos battery connector from cf-28, 29 and etc of course you have to trace up the +line and -line on the board. Or you may just cut it out the plug connector on the cmos(replacement one) battey, open a bit and then directly solder the cmos battery to the board. To hold it tight just apply a double sided tape and your done.
