rominator Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 You will either need to find a good hack from Toleda et al or use an official Apple board.

Can you give some links to what exactly you bought, because I don't get it where from and what did you buy? Did you buy separately an adapter mini PCI-e to PCI-e?

Stefan Milev Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I didn't either in the beginning, but the idea is that bluetooth connects through USB to the motherboard and because of that, they have the data connection wires on additional connector which you connect to a header inside the case.
