    Has been a while since I've been hanging around here. But maybe its nice to share some info with you; I have been busy upgrading my trusty CF-19KD MK3 (Bios V3.00L15) and the following things worked out quite well:

    I've put a 4TB Samsung SSD drive in the machine and the BIOS immediately recognized it, no problems there. Only problem was the Disk Manager in Windows 7 and 10 were not able to make partitions above 2TB (a MBR restriction and the MK3 is BIOS only, so no GPT). This awesome tool (MBR4TB.exe) solved the problem in seconds..

    Further I replaced the 3G GOBI 1000 cellular modem for a 4G MC7710. It was plug and play and working flawlessly after the first boot!

    Cheers,

    Michiel
