    These are the combo cards we've been using to replace the individual modem and LAN cards that come stock in a CF28, thereby freeing up a slot for use with a wifi card. It is very simple to install.. no tools, no wiring modifications.

    Price is $5 shipped to a US or Canadian address.. It'll probably be just a little bit more for other countries.

    What are the accepted methods of payment? Do you have Ebay/Heatware feedback?

    Thank you.

    yes.. if memory serves, it just won't fit. And correct me if I'm wrong, but even if it did fit, none of us have yet been able to make a card other than the aztech modem work in that slot..

    I need a card and also need the dual connector plate - my 800MHz CF-28 came with only a modem connector in the plate.

    I would be interested in one too, if it came with the RJ45 and modem panel with plugs/wires. :D Maybe two.. ;)

    Hey Gravitar,

    Do you have any of these left? I have a Cf-28 coming in via Ebay, and may need one.

    Thanks,

    i think i'm the one that sold it to you :) hopefully someone else will come up with a suggestion. if not, i guess the only way to make sure it isn't a defective card is to send you another one to try. they're all brand new so i haven't been testing them, but i will stick one in one of my CF28s to verify that it boots up before i send it.
