Adding Bluetooth to my Mac Pro (1.1)

[forester54]

how do I add bluetooth to my Mac Pro?

Where can I buy it?

Is it a pain in the a**?

i don't know where you can buy one, but there are different types. there's the dongles which can be cheap, but some of them overheat.

if you get PCI one, it shouldn't be hard to install, but I don't know if it has to be OS X compatible.

I am also looking for an Airport card which I may have found.

Is this the correct one?

For USB you can use the D-Link DBT-122. It is Apple approved and needs no drivers at all.

So thanks for advising me on getting the D-Link. I got it in today and it works awesome! Now I can use my wireless keyboard and mighty mouse.
