    I am finding conflicting info about the compatibility between different models.
    It is made to work with the CF-27 and it works with the CF-28, but what about the CF-29, mk1, mk2, mk3, and so on.
    Some say it works, and others say no.
    Does anyone know for sure??

    Thanks
    Bob

    We used that docking station at work with MK II and MK III CF-28s as well as MK II, MK III, and MK IV CF-29s with no issues. I am pretty sure I have seen a CF-27 in those once or twice too, but I cannot guarantee that.

    I believe that there are different models which are identified by letters appended to the model #. Again, I believe they were backward compatible but not forward compatible. Try Googling "CF-29 docking station" etc and I believe you will find this is so. Look for info from Toughbook dealers not eBay sellers!
