i should get another one today fingerscrossed!!!!!
heres a link for drivers, just download what you want....
https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pc/cgi-bin/itn/toughbook/dl01.cgi
also read the drivers before downloading, ur model is a cf-28S3 (mk3),
plenty drivers for all ur needs there,
any problems installing just ask, someones always around...........:smile:

 

thanks alot, i can now start hacking the hell out of this thing, not that i need to its awsum but there is a few thing i think will made it that little bit better

 

whats does that involve doing????
driving a car over it........:laugh:

 

Well as I don’t drive no...

I was thinking of adding some usb 2.0 to it on the other side to were the Ethernet and 56k modem are, I have a rim something or other there under the battery, that will be coming out I also have a mini pci wifi card on its way and I am getting one of my engineers to draw me up some plans for a wifi antenna well two, I may change my screen to a touch screen but I have been told they aren’t very bright so may not, I have also ordered a new cover for the top of the cf 28 as mine is a bit scratched I have a few more things up my sleeve but I have to work on them a bit

Ill post some picas when I have finished one or two of them

 

cool,
which wifi card will you be using????????/
you got any idea of using the internal pcmcia slot??????
where are you going to mount ur antenna?????

 

Well this is the wifi card ill be using
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=170139769358&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=007

It’s nothing amazing but I just want to get everything working and then ill upgrade to the good stuff later on,
I will be using the pcmcia slot for the usb 2.0 upgrade I’m going to have to get my soldering things out for this one I think
Ill probably going to need someone’s help with the wifi upgrade to as i temporarily want to use the rim antenna on the top left hand of my screen
The problem is I think the connecters on my wifi card for the antenna are different from the rim connector so if any of you no a good place I can get wifi connectors and bits n bobs would be appreciated

 

I finally got all the drivers from the CD that Toughbook sent me on my server.

http://modly.net/CF-28

Read the drivermanuallist.txt to figure out which drivers are which. I'll eventually resort them out so you won't have to do so much thinking, but it's 7:30am..

Just for quick reference, the 'm' folder is for all CF-28M (600MHz) books, 'pb-pc' is all 28P (800MHz), and 's' is 28S (1GHz).

 

Thanks alot to both of you!!

where you at in michigan modly....In Lansing here.

i mite just get these

 

wait tomorrow toughbook will be making a new thread with all drivers to help everyone with there problems............

 

Badjeep, I'm in Ann Arbor, about 2 blocks from the UofM stadium.

(And don't worry, I'm not a UofM student, I went to the community college, and dropped out with dignity)

 

no pint getting the recovery set, those sell for 15usd normaly on ebay check his own feedback doubt he's ever sold any that cost more then 20dollars,
now he's put his prices up after seeing so many cf-28 being bought........

 

hey guys i downloaded all he drivers of the site that djacid gave me i formated mt cf 28 lastnight installed all the drivers that were on the site for my 28 but iv got a problem in hardware manager there is an unknown devices
i thought i mite be the rim wireless thing that was in there but iv now took it out and its still there,(wich means that the rim thing didnt work anyway)

any ideas

 

I am also wondering the same thing. From a fresh install of xp there is only 2 devices that come up without drivers yet...one is the video and the other is Unknown device.....I'm still trying to figure out what it is myself.

 

There are two - three drivers that come up with yellow ?'s... Hotkey mgr driver, video driver and Touchscreen driver... I'll upload them now. Download the drivers... put them into a folder. Go into device mgr and ask it to update driver. Tell it where to install. Point it to the folder. Trial and error will tell you which is which. For the touchscreen... You have to update the mouse driver. I pulled my hair out for hours before finding that out. Credit me for saving you from "Mr. Ray's Hair Weave".....
I've been staining my deck all day... It's a big 'un... Let me take a shower and I will update all the drivers and apps you need. I'll also explain how they install.

 

The recovery CD just comes with some of the drivers (I think) and all the apps that Panasonic put on the laptop from the factory... Like DMI Viewer, Panasonic handwriting, backup utility, etc.

 

hey toughbook when will you be uploading the drivers and were to, o and thank all for your help its been realy handy having people who know about these laptops

 

well iv just updated my vedio drivers my hkey drivers. i havent got a touch screen, well i dont think it is anyway, iv tryed updateing that to and mouse drivers nothing is geting ride of the unkonwn devices, it must be somthing simple it was working befor i done a fresh install of xp pro sp2,

 

I installed that unknown device at the hotkey manager and it worked out fine.
even though my hotkeys were working just fine without the driver installed, or at least the ones I use appeard to be beforehand. Anyways So far everything appears to be working fine under a full xp install and the gps is not giving me any mouse problems though I have not used it to actually navigate around yet.

 

well i tryed updating the unknown device with the hkey driver, no go there, so i uninstalled the device with device manager restarted the pc, when it said found new hardware i directed it to the hkey driver and wala its installed it and its now 100% working thanks all you guys that helped its was one of them things that was just bugging the hell out of me

 

The Toughbook has a lot of things that can do that to you!

 

tell me about it i have had it a few days and it already bigging me. u no wa this lap top and my girlfriend has somthing in common, exect i still love this laptop,

 

Not sure who exactly was webwhacking the drivers, but they did it in a retarded way and one person's IP transfered 1.4GB worth of files from a 200MB folder.

With that said, I'm killing the server for the night. You don't need 7 copies of the drivers... really.

 

?????????

 

Somebody was using an automated downloader (Webwhacker, it grabs all files in a directory and it's spinoffs), but they set something funny or tried launching it too many times, because one person at a single IP downloaded every file almost 7 times.

This killed the hell out of my upload bandwidth, and bogged my server down with one person's tasks. I'll start it back up tomorrow morning, but for now I need some bandwidth and processor time free on that box.

 

glad you sorted the driver problems

 

oops that was probobly me...I just clicked on download them all utility on my mac and left for work that day...I've never used the app before so Im not sure what exactly it does...but sorry bout that.

err wait a minute I did that on the 17th so maybe it wasnt me

 

Linky no worky

 

Linky yes worky!

One question tho. In this Graphics/Win2000 folder, I think there are 114 files Wouldn't it have been easier to zip the whole folder instead of UL'ing/DL'ing individual files? [plus a readme to unzip before installation?]

Modly, I downloaded a bunch of 'em and thanks for hosting. Hope I didn't put a strain on ya torrent seeds!

 

Naw, you were fine. As long as you only had a few hundred MB or less, I'm not worried about it. I had to ban a Korean IP a few months ago for being a dumbass and running a bad script nabbing several GB (Downloaded the same files many, many, many times). That's why the link didn't work when Toughbook checked it, because I killed apache for an hour while revising the config.
