    hello, I need help decoding this cf-18 serial number. I have no idea what the "77" in the serial number stands for and yes I have checked everywhere to figure it out and also triple checked the serial and they are definately sevens and not "z's'". Serial number CF-18 KDH77VM. I have original MK4 reload disks, but want to make sure before we buy these that these would work with our disks. Thanks Again!

    A quick look around the internet produced this description:

    "Panasonic Intel Pentium M 753 1.2GHzULV (Centrino) 10.4-Inch XGA with Digitizer 60GB 512MB Intel 802.11a+b+g Dual pass through antenna connector WIN XP Tablet 2005"

    Believe this is a Mk4 but because it's a Digitizer model you need the Restore CDs for a Digitizer, regular Windows XP Pro with touchscreen driver will not work.

    Since he posted the Model Number as CF-18KDH77VM, it is definitely a Mk4.
