Re: CF-29 SD Card Reader Compatibility thru Different Models

Installed MX16 on the mk5 and got both of the tuning programs up and running on it. Two issues now - the usual touchpad and touchscreen issues. The usual fix for the touchpad doesn't work. The temp fix "set m 8 1" works fine but the "options psmouse resolution=400" fix doesn't wo...

Re: CF-29 SD Card Reader Compatibility thru Different Models

Thanks - looking up MX Linux now.

I found the winehq.org site earlier. Good to know it is the go-to site. After I get a little deeper there I may be back with some very entry level questions on how to go about adding/installing it.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: CF-29 SD Card Reader Compatibility thru Different Models

Thanks Shawn The two mk3s are still running windows XP. The mk5 was purchased with no OS. I used puppy Linux initially (both Wary and Lucid) but eventually installed Ubuntu 10.04. 10.04 was the latest ISO I could get on a CD (no DVD writer). The primary tuning software is available in both windows a...

Re: CF-29 SD Card Reader Compatibility thru Different Models

Follow up question - will I need to partially disassemble the tough book to replace the PCMCIA unit? I assume I need to go in for ok the bottom?

CF-29 SD Card Reader Compatibility thru Different Models

Short question - Can I take the SD card reader/PCMCIA slot from a CF-29 mk5 and install it in a CF-29 mk3? Long version: I bought 2 CF-29's about a year and a half ago. I use them as tuning computers (one is a spare) after going through three "soft" laptops (2 to drops and one maybe to dus...
