The OFFICIAL Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook Thread!

The Sierra wireless 860 aircard has 3G. Is that what the wireless module is? Just an aircard?

I thought the HSPDA modules are all mini PCI express. I know they will swap into the most recent CF-29 series (1.6ghz). Not sure about the lower versions. I thought all they had was EDGE for that type of connection. If you find a module that fits that...let me know also.

Yes, the HSPDA is mini pci express. Depending on which EVDO it is, it might be the same connection. The rev. a's use mini express.

I bought the CF-29 GPS kit today... It should be here tomorrow. I'll see what it takes to put it all together and let you guys know. I'll be interested to see if I can learn enough by installing the factory one to mod my own installation. I have an idea of how to do it already... It's just a matter of summoning up the guts to start soldering on the mobo of my new CF-29.

I also bought a CF-30 handle to swap in so I can have a stylus handy when needed. The only problem is... The stylus' don't come with the handle and they are on backorder! So much for having a stylus handy! I thought I saw a 5-pack online but since I haven't seen one in person I don't want to take a shot and buy the wrong thing.

I will keep you informed on if this company is good to go.I have seen CF-29,s go for 1200 dollars that at had 256 ram 40 gb hrd drv and a floppy drive and no touch screens.They are sold out of this item .I bought the last one and I dont think they knew what they had as far as the price rang!!!!They have a email notification option that will email you when they get more CF-29,s


Thank you for letting me join and the CF-29 is close to my heart because we used this computer in Iraq in our combat veh /WarLock/ to run our ECM that has saved many lives and even thought this tough computer does not have a fan it kept running in our vehical when the outside temp was 145 degrees and inside our vehical it would reach 160 degrees at times and not to mention the IED,s and vehicals beening hit.I hope I got lucky with this purchase

lauricedvldog,
Welcome aboard! Thanks for your service to our Country.

I think you'll feel welcome on this site; we've got Marines and other crazies, but the bottom line is, these folks are smart and willing to help.
SemperFi, Pappy

Well.. The stylus' came in but the handle is on backorder! RATS!

[ZeroFlight]

LOL, you just can't catch a break. Oh, when you remove the handle from the 29, keep the 4 post ring spacers, you'll need to put them on your new handle.

I found the 3G module. It's cf-wew29007cr, and it's $600-$700 for the modem only . Design for CF-29 mk5, this is the HSDPA/3G not the old EDGE. Is there any way to get it cheeper

[Toughbook]

You need to call Heartland!
