    Anyone know if there is a spot to hack into to get either a USB port installed or wire a device in?

    I did a quick look on the schematics and found this possibility

    Check cn41 I believe it's for the camera.
    Pin1=usb +
    Pin2=usb -
    Pin3=VC5
    Pin4=Light
    Pin5=Ground

    I don't think there is a webcam, but there is that odd bottom-camera which gets plugged into the base, instead of one of the outer memory module. Turn the CF-19 into tablet mode and you have a giant digicam.

    I'm looking to download the schematic for the CF19 MK II?
    With the connector pin assignment.

    Panasonic tends to have things on the mobo that are just not active until later marks... that's what makes modding them so damn fun... they put em there because they KNOW that some companies will need the functionality down the road... it's so they can say "yes, that support for so and so is coming in the next mark, but you will need to spend $4533 more to get it"... More marketing than anything I think...
