    AC adapter, battery, etc. If the original manual and recover CD are available, that would be even better.

    I have an AC adapter here somewhere and an ok used battery last time I checked.
    Batteries for M34's are tough to find.
    Pdf file of manual is easy to get. Recovery CD will probably have windows 98 or 2000 on it.
    I had Win7 on mine at one time. I added a SSD and WIFI with antenna.
    I will need to get it out and verify everything as it has been a while.

    What I don't have , Sheepman! does and vice versa. I am sure we can fix you up.

    Sounds great. I am interested. I would prefer the computer to be as close to the original stock as possible. It will be a collectible piece rather. I try to collect toughbooks with as many original options as possible. Thanks, Shawn and Sheepman! Please let me know more details!

    Jeff's may be more original than mine. Not sure
    All I added was ssd and a wifi card/antenna.
    Externally it looks original.
    The ssd can be removed and an ide drive put back in.
    Likewise the wifi can be removed also.

    I checked and I do not have the original recovery image.
    Mine does have an OEM battery thats holds a charge.
    I will have to talk to Jeff and see what we can put together for you.
    Might be a team effort.

    Would a rubber keyboard be interesting to you? Better layout than the CF-19 style. Prefer to keep my two M34 but this is available. Sale or trade for regular.....white? keyboard.

    Rubber keyboard or regular white is fine with me. Prefer a sale but would open for discussing a trade. I am a pretty novice collector, so my trade may not interest you though. PM me the price or what you are looking for. I am editing my signature to reflect what I have so far. Thanks!

    Please close this up. I recently acquired an almost new M34 Mk1. Thanks, guys for the help. But if you have a trace of CF-1000, please let me know.

    Thanks Shawn. Yep. Not a Toughbook, but rather an early Panasonic laptop.
