    Hello,
    I am interested in buying a few PC133 256 memory modules for some CF-28's we have at work. Please respond with what you have and how much.

    Thanks,

    Bump please for anyone who has this memory...Will any PC133 256 SODIMM work in a CF-28? Should it be Low Density? Just in case no one has any and I have to go to Ebay.
    Thanks so much,
    Kevin

    Hi. From experience, I know that on CF-28 Mk1, 600MHz, PC133 will not work, you need PC100. low density. I'm not shure about Mk2 and Mk3. Best you ask Toughbook or Tomcat. Regards, Voytek.

    I just know that the cf-28's are fussy
    Over half the ram I bought over the years for these would only recognise 1/2 the module size
    And It might/will make a difference on the mk# , even on the 256mb module

    I have two 128 MB MODULES. Original Panasonic CF-WMBA81128 (GOLDEN RAM) They are PC 100-222-620. They will work on all CF-28 models. Also I have one 256 MB module PC 100-222-620 also made in Japan. This have no Panasonic model number. The same is sold on Ebay for $40.00. 128's are $30.00 each, 256 is $35.00 shipped to US. If you would like all 3, $90.00 shipped. Regards, Voytek.

    I have a box of memory. I'll look through it and see what is there. How many pieces of memory do you need? All of mine should be OEM Panasonic memory. I'm putting a lot of CF-28, CF-29, CF-18 & CF-19 parts up on ebay, but have not gotten to the memory yet.

    This is what I found today in a box of CF-19 WWAN's & CF-29 WWAN Sleds, etc. There is another box of memory that I ran across that I will go through in the next day or two. It looks to have plenty of memory.

    HYS64T64020HDL-3S-B

    1 - Panasonic 256MB PC2700 DDR333 SoDimm Memory

    You must have the newer Toughbooks hawk
    Cf-29 + cf-30 type memory is what you have
    None will work in the cf-28

    Alex, I think the CF-28 memory is in the other box. I'll go through it hopefully tomorrow. Could be all kinds of memory in that box!
