Thanks Rob.

Can you check price and availability on the following part number?

FZ-VNS401U

Edit It info says the part is compatible with the FZ-40 only, but I think it will work w/a CF-30/31's. End Edit

Not sure if it will work with the CF-30/31.

How hard can it be to mod a couple of D-rings?

Thanks Rob

Want!


but

For those concerned with Linux and UEFI and Secure Boot, I have Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE desktop environment) installed on my CF-31 MK4 with UEFI, TPM, and Secure Boot enabled. Not all distros support Secure Boot, but as of July 2015 the following Mainstream distros supported UEFI and Secure Boot: Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, and RedHat.

MxLinux does not yet support Secure Boot as far as I can see.

This forum has a way to install Pop!_OS (and presumably other distros) with Secure Boot and UEFI:

A little more about Linux and Secure Boot:

Because MX is Debian derivative SB shoudn't be a problem, it will basically use the Debian signature and be recognised.

If your software works with newer OS, there are USB to parallel adapters.
