    Just curious if anyone has figured out a reasonable (no soldering, etc) way to add an internal rfid reader to CF-30's or CF-31's that will hold up to vehicle use. Seems like with the availability of cheap RFID readers for things like arduino there might be a decent solution? All the other options I've found expect you to have a 6' USB cable or an expresscard hanging out the side - accidents waiting to happen. In my case the toughbooks have GPS and GOBI cards - nothing in DVD / ExpressCard / PC Card.

    Thanks

    Examples that happen to be USB, others have pins:

    What does the CF-H1 use? It's not shown in the old configurator except in description. 2 cents or less.
