    Hi there

    Since I don't know what to do with my MOS Machine, I started some time ago to analyse the possibility to bring the bluetooth protocol to MOS.
    There is a small, really small chance, that this idea comes to life one day, due to my lack of time, but a chance because I saw there is a VNC server package for MOS.

    If I am writing all this, it's because I am searching for someone who could have a dev kit for bluetooth chips.

    Actually, I found a chineese compagny who sent me a dev kit for a bluetooth chip they manufacture, but it's proprietary, and I have no confirmation that this chip will be still available in a year.

    I would like, if someone has this in stock, a dev kit for broadcom bluetooth chips, I tried to mail 'em, but no news. Broadcom would be a good thing because this is something more spread (broadcom chips are on a lot of machines nowadays).

    If someone has a good XP in bluetooth chips, I'll be glad to have a discussion with that person, and if someone can have a broadcom devkit I take It.

    It can take the post fees in charge, and engage myself to send back the hardware after having taken my hands on it and saw what I can do with it. The idea is to avoid spending lot of money in dev kit, before fixing my choice on a single chip provider.

    Initial areas of investigations are to bring easiest services bluetooth protocols describes, as a proof of concept, then expand the thing if it works and some huys are interested to have this developed further


    That's all for now;)

    I have no idea what utility it might be in a Power mac, but someone just shipped me a FW800 MDD motherboard with a Bluetooth module on it.

    I guess it's the same utility as the Bluetooth module in my Mac mini ;-)

    Which under MorphOS would be...none?
    Its a strange little module.
    Looks identical to the one from a Powerbook.

    So far, yes.
