    Hello all! I have been dealing with toughbooks for a while, and finally found this forum while searching for a personal toughbook. I have a 52 and wanted to put in a smartcard (CAC) reader in the OEM slot. Does anyone know the part number for the OEM card reader, or a suitable replacement that doesnt take up my PC card slot or my expresscard slot?

    Great, thanks. Hopefully I can buy one from them or find one on ebay (hopefully cheaper).
