    I am not sure about Mk1, but It is a mk2 or mk3 motherboard that I have at the house that has both touch and digitizer connections on it.

    Yes. If I am remembering right all Digitizer motherboards have touch and digitizer hook up, but not all touch have the digitizer hook up.

    The good news is you won't have to take the whole laptops apart to see. Remove the keyboard and under it is a metal seal plate, removing it you can see the connections.

    It happened that I am trying to install a dual touch for CF-18 but so far I've got no success. It must need a bit of work on the mbo. before you can make it work.

    May I know what is your purpose? maybe i can help.

    BTw, It can be done on CF-19. As matter of fact I have an MK2 CF-19 with model no. CF-19FD but instead of didtizer panel I installed a touchscreen panel.
