Interchangable Parts

I Had a thought (stand back) that a list of interchangable parts might be useful. In some cases it can save money. I will start with the CF-18 pcmcia cover...that alot of machines are missing. Some people charge up to $40 for one of these. Well the CF-29 Battery bay door will work and I bought 5 or so lat week for under $10 shipped....Next...

We already had a thread like this here on NBR... Hmmmm, where was it...



On my website HERE we have it too which I started back in December: ~Toughbook Talk~ Toughbook Discussion • View topic - Interesting Toughbook Qwarks...

good idea, but I tried it(the battery bay door from a cf-29 ETN model) on a cf-18DHAZXKM model for the pcmcia and it is just a tad bit shorter and just a tad bit narrower, the door will not close in this particular instance. Maybe another later mk 3 or mk4-5 would work. At least it didn't work for me in this instance, but they do look almost identical..........Driller
