    Anyone have one for trade? I have a bear-bones unit I have cobbled together for my niece and am missing the cable... I have the caddy itself.

    Shawn says a CF-52 cable will also work...

    PM me please!

    Bueller? Bueller?

    I really don't want to pay $40 for a caddy just to get the cable...

    Kerry... I went ahead an bought one from the link you provided.

    Yes... I have some 30 caddies but will need them for the 4 CF-31s I just bought. I just couldn't say NO with the deals I got. My only issue is that, after building my Toughbooks... I need to take them somewhere else in the world to use high speed internet to run updates. I get a basic connection off a hotspot back here but need cable or fiber optic to run updates.

    Rick,

    Try this. Download the updates at once and save them offline. I use a USB stick.
    One click and it installs them all.
