    Just got in a fresh batch of CF-31 Toughbooks, model CF-31SBLAA1M for our squad cars. They all came preinstalled with Gobi 3000 cards ( Show up as uninstalled device MC8355 in the device manager). No drivers on the Panasonic sites listed in the sticky, and the standard CSA doesn't work with the 3000s (I tried).

    Even the units that still have the factory OS install don't have the driver loaded. Any thoughts or anyone know where I can grab the setup files? Thanks for the help!!

    Welcome to the Toughbook Forum
    Some things are better to talk to you about than to type it out. The last time I called Rob (last month) it cost me $1.57 (1/2hour) and I live in Canada...3000+ miles away. That's less than a cup of coffie at Tim Horton's
