    I just purchased a CF-29 on ebay earlier today off of ebay and I am going to order a HDD for it, is the HM160 still the best choice? My SN is CF29ETP20KM if I am correct that means that this is a MK2 and it would use up 1GB of DDR memory? Also if anyone can help me decode the number so that I can know the specs I would appreciate it, I tried the panasonic website and I had no luck. Thanks

    Here is the link to configurator:
    Panasonic Mobile Computing Configure Products
    Double check your Model # by going into Bios, do this by hitting F2 after turning on/and/or restarting Tough Book.

    Since his unit is a "20" Special Order Build, it will not "configure" on the Toughbook Configurator now that the Panasonic Support webmaster/programmer "fixed" the Configurator. :( :mad:
