    R yes (complete), Q no. Loose keyboard also. IOW I found one. Other parts machines are A and L possibly a R if I can find it.
    Let's see what Shawn finds. Watch your mailbox. :) RCLDFBM from memory for the complete one.
    Getting any wind with your rain?

    Not too bad with the wind,just enough to make some nice whitecaps. I have 1 CF-51 left and the darn keyboard half works,have another board and its just as bad. I usually give them away to people with kids who cant afford a bunch of laptops.

    I have one that is ok. I have 2 or 3 that I marked as bad. It's been years since I owned a CF50 or 51 so I dunno any more. I will send a package west in a day or so.

    If you think you can use the it later, go ahead and keep the keyboard. I doubt that I will need it.
    Jeff via me needs a 2gb stick of ram DDR3 8500 for a CF19 mk4 motherboard swap I am doing for him. Even a 1gb would work as I have a 2gb. 3gb is fine for win7 32 bit.

    I don't have any 8500 but do have 2gb 10600 and a 4gb 12800 . If you can use it you can have it.

    The 2gb will be enough with the 2gb I have. The 10600 should run at 8500 to pair with what I have installed.
