Itronix Laptop Software Downloads Have Been Updated!

Itronix IX260 Atlantic Computing posted a whole slew of the Itronix IX250 and IX260 rugged laptops on ebay a month ago and they have been selling a spank load of them. I’ve followed a few of the auctions and it looks like some people are grabbing these for about $300 on average, most of which are in like-new condition. These were announced as lease turn-ins from General Dynamics in Spokane Washington. As a result of so many being offered, I’ve had some pretty active downloads in the last two weeks even though, on occasion some have encountered download issues with the larger files. What I’ve done is broken the downloads into smaller parts for those with slower connections to the files.

Who uses the Itronix IX250 and IX260 Laptops?

Who uses these semi-outdated Itronix Rugged Tough Books and why bother? The simple answer is price. New they run for about $3,500 but with so many lease returns the availability of tough rugged computing is very affordable. These little tough books are military tested and are still in use by many divisions of the Armed Forces as well as law enforcement agencies around the nation. But its not just the police and military that buys and uses these Itronix Rugged Laptops; its city offices, the water department, the utilities companies, cable companies, corporations, sattalite dish technicians, delivery services, security companies and more.

Anyway, I’ve updated the software and documentation download with the following..

    OK,
    It can be done, I got 750GB(697GB usable) of hard drive inboard of my IX260. & a shoulder strap hooked to the same D-ring that the handle so it make it very nice to carry it around. Will have the 2Gb ram this coming weekend, & expecting an unlimited north American communication system within couple weeks.
    Thanks for all those pointers.

    Hey most welcome, the iTronix is one of my favorites so I’ve done the same by accessorizing it quite a bit. What other laptop can be tossed around so much and yet be so effective for the price?

    Shot in the dark here. DVD player I want to install asking me to disable TV OUT in my Itronix 260. How do I do that? Thanks, Marc

    The settings driver in my download area has that as an option. I’m not sure if you have all the proper drivers but you can download what I’ve got.

    I have an IX260 with integrated GPS, Radio and Bluetooth (I think). I say I think it has Bluetooth because it has a Bluetooth LED at the top of the keyboard (which is usually lit), and a CMOS setting to “wake on Bluetooth detection”. I can’t find anything in the Windows Control Panel or Device Manager related to Bluetooth. Windows does not detect new hardware when prompted to do so. Regardless, somthing should be listed in the device manager. As a result of further investigation I believe the Bluetooth device in the IX260 was produced by a company called BlueGiga. I’ve not been able to get drivers from them.
    If you have any information regarding Bluetooth on the IX260 I would appreciate the help.
    Thanks,
    C.P.
