    It seems Panasonics Toughbook Configurator no longer works for the older SKU's.

    I was looking for info on a CF-52PFPBX2M which I think is a mk3

    Sometimes if you are lucky you can put you model number in the search above on the main Panasonic page and maybe someone in the past was asking about this model and a member here posted what they had. It has worked for me in the past...not all the time but you never know untill you try. Good luck.

    It's too bad @Modly down load site is down or gone. He was big on the 28 and had lots of stuff on them. He's not been around for 6-7 years now.

    I just tried your model number and got no hits on it...sorry.

    Thank you for the replies, I tried toughasnails's suggestion and lo & behold this thread was the only hit. It's too bad Panasonic decided to remove that webpage as it was a great resource for determing how each toughbook was intially configured.

    What a shame.

    It was very useful for checking the spec of Toughbooks listed on eBay.

    Also interesting to see the original cost of Toughbooks.
