    Hello all,

    I´m looking for an used Panasonic toughbook with at least two ports of PCMCIA because I have two pcmcia cards from National Instruments for data adquisition purpose.

    My wish laptop should have at least Pentium 4 - 1Ghz for processor (better core Duo o more speed).
    If it is possible to install more than 1GB RAM (2GB should be perfect), and any USB 2.0 port and Wifi (optional).

    Please, can any help me to find or send a list of toughbook laptops with at least those caracteristics
    NOTE: Expresscard port is not valid, due to, there isn´t adaptors for NI cards.

    Thanks

    CF-29 Non-touch with upgrade to Touch. Runs 2 GB ram. Like an L3 or N3. These are the first two letters after CF-29 in the bios.
    I have one for certain possibly as many as three. 1.6GHz.
    What operating system?
    I like the 29L (MK4) It has everything MK5 has without TPM.
    This one is 1650 hours but is a NTQGZBM 1536 Ram....I'll poke around.
    Two pc slots. (think this is correct)(Help Shawn...CF-30 went to Express and PC, yes?

    The CF29 had 2 PCMCIA slots. CF30 did indeed go to one and one.

    Cf-29 ... which mark have two pcmcia ports?

    Mk 1 29C, 29DPentium mobile 1.2GHz ULV256MB onboard1.2GB max DDR-1 PC-27002.5" IDE/PATAD = no WiFi*
    Mk 2 29E, 29FPentium mobile 718 1.3Ghz256MB onboard1.2GB maxDDR-1 PC-27002.5" IDE/PATAF = no WiFi*
    Mk 3 29H, 29JPentium mobile 738 1.4GHz2.5" IDE/PATAJ = no WiFi*
    Mk 4 29L, 29MPentium mobile778 1.6GHz 512MB onboard1.5GB maxDDR-2 PC-32002.5" IDE/PATAM = no WiFi*
    Mk 5 29N, 29PPentium mobile 778 1.6GHz2.5" IDE/PATAP = no WiFi*

    By other way, seems that cf-51 mk3 has better processors than cf-29. As i understood, cf-51 can be upgradeable until core 2 duo T7600 - 2,33Ghz, true?

    I have two CF-51 @ 7600.
    CF-51RCLDFBM and similar. 4 USB ports, 2 PC.
    CD/DVD T7600 @2.33 XP None have handles BTW. This one is ready to go. Clean XP SP2 install. Hours are 5200+-.


    I have two 29 NTQGZBM. The 2Gb ram one is CF-29NDLGFBM presently with two drives....one media bay. (touch upgrade by me) They DO have wireless.(WLAN) and 2 PC ports. NDL has WWAN antenna.

    The none in configurator refers to WWAN sled, rails and antenna.
