Will the Magic Trackpad work on a PowerMac G5 on Leopard

[dustinschings]

I have a Early 2005 Dual 2GHz CPU model, maxed RAM to 4GB, upgraded to an SSD and a 500GB HDD, and just installed my new GeForce 6800 ULTRA 256MB model. I was looking to get the Bluetooth card to install so I can put my Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Trackpad to use. Will both of those work on this machine?

Yes. You just don't get all the features. Just the basic functionality.

Great! I know I need the antenna that plugs into the back, but what exact model BT card do I need? There seem to be several ones. I have an Early 2005 model with dual 2.0GHz G5s.

I wonder why there is no custom kext for that the hackintosh community has kexts for nearly everything but the magic trackpad

I'm not sure what part that is.

But if it proves difficult to find, Belkin makes a couple models of USB BT adapters. They are excellent and gave my old Quicksilver Bluetooth capability,

In fact, I am still using the adapter with my G5 Quad as there seems to be some sort of interference that makes the stock BT lad a bit.

I remember seeing a ~$11 (on sale I believe) Wifi/BT adapter on here but I cannot seem to find it again.
