    Hi All.

    I have really been struggling to find CF-27 Mk3 recovery discs to either buy on physical media or download.

    I bought some original Mk2 Driver discs by mistake, so if anyone needs these I can create some ISO's.
    But it would really help if anyone has the Mk3 originals.

    FYI: When using the Mk2 discs in the Mk3 you just get an error that's its not the correct model.

    Thanks.

    As far as I know, there aren't recovery discs for any model. I even could not locate them on the Panasonic website for drivers that I use for my 28's.

    If you look there is no 27 on the list.
    I don't know if either they A took it down or B they never had it there

    I guess I will look at the wayback machine for it...

    Thanks :)
    It used to be on this list a long time ago but has "dropped off". Im looking for someone who has the physical discs in hand they can rip ideally.
    Like I said I have the physical discs for Mk2, I just need the ones for Mk3.

    They took a lot of the older stuff down. The oldest they use to have was CF-28 Mk3, but it may not even be up anymore.

    There were venders selling driver disks on ebay, not sure if they are doing the older models any more.

    I think this site is still up, but didn't see any links to download.

    The exe files go do a dead link, but you can at least see the proper file name for each files and search from there.
