    I have been going over and seeing what is available for the PCMCIA cards and curious about what others have been using on there CF 28, 29, ETC. I have only used so far a 5 in one card reader and a compact flash adapter. I have looked at a few bluetooth and other cards to expand on what i have. So what are your favorite PCMCIA cards to use in your toughbooks?

    The mogo mouse is really cool for the 17.00 I paid for it. I haven't used it yet since right after I got it my HDD went on safari.

    Thanks. I totally missed that thread. Been doing some reading up on DIY VIDOCK thread on notebookreview too. Thinking of trying one on one of my toughbooks.

    I have always used the 3com x jack cards because they have a spring loaded anteana that you can pop out after you open the door and then press it back in and close the door up.....Until I found this Ebay item number 220696596288 they are B,G and N
    they work in a 28 29 and 30...doesn't quite fit in an 18 but most of those are wireless anyway,Almstprfct1
    If ya need any xjack cards let me know

    But still you need to open up the sealed door in order to use it fully.
