Docking dimensions

Will a CF-31 physically mount to a dock designed for a 28/29/30? I'm aware the port replications would be incompatible for many or all of the connections. I would be removing them, with the exception of the pass-throughs.

 

"The Toughbook 31 replaces the Toughbook 30 with a variety of technology updates and enhancements that brings the platform technologically up-to-date without obsoleting existing customers' investment in older Toughbook docks and peripherals. In fact, this 6th generation of Panasonic's original rugged notebook platform now has eleven years' worth of vehicle dock compatibility. That's remarkable as it means that Toughbook 27, 28, 29, 30, and now 31 computers can all co-exist and use the same support infrastructure."

CRAP! Nuff said!

 

But no modem support on the CF-31... I donno if I can live without that...

 

Thanks topcop! And what you mean no modem support Rob? I can't use my AOL dial-up?

 

Hy... I use my MODEM almost every day. Most of my Work Orders have SoWs, LoLs, and SigCaps that have to be faxed somewhere... (I know you're gonna ask... Scope of Work, Limitations of Liability, and Signature Capture)

It's NOT a small thing to lose.

CC'ed.

 

There there... My 31 has a modem. I must admit I don't remember ever using the one on my 17 in the last decade or so. and I'm still miffed nobody got the Tom Lehrer reference.
