    The CF-18 and CF-29 will not work as Azrial stated

    The CF-19, 30, 50, 51, 52, 72, 73 and the 74 will work

    These are only the ones I have checked so far.

    Did they transfer them over to the "Discontinued Models" configurator portal?

    The CF-27, CF-28, and CF-29 models all appear to be in the Discontinued portal as I had no problem accessing info for models I have in my possession..

    I typed in cf-29l3lgzbm and it came up with info and I think the price and discontinued. let me check again......Driller
    also typed in cf-51RC4EFBM and it came up with info and price, but the cf-29HTM50BM did not come up, interesting. input CF-29ETPCKKM and it also came up with price and info as to the options, but again not at all like the old configurator.

    It appears that the Special Order CF-29 Toughbooks, like our retired SBC Model CF-29HTM50BM and my retired San Antonio PD Model CF-29EWPNZBM, are no longer going to show up on the "new" Toughbook Configurator. :(

    The site we need is the one that has the letters and numbers listed for the
    different options not a site where you type in you config#

    Or a data-base for the common models with the read-outs of the config #'s
    maybe this is something a few of use Toughbook nobs can work on?? hint hint !!

    That's a bummer to have info for older models (particularly CF18, CF28 and CF29) shifted so it's hard to find. It's handy to be able to look up model codes and figure out the exact original configuration when looking to update or get a new system for another application.
