May 20, 2013 11:05 AM in response to hejpigby MichelPM,Is the USB Bluetooth Dongle compatible with Macs and Mac OS X and 10.3.9 Panther?
Also, what is the CPU speed of this iMac?

May 20, 2013 11:23 AM in response to MichelPMby hejpig,CPU is PowerPC 750.
I've tried two dongles - one no-name that was lying around, and a Targus Class 2 that I saw somebody recommend for older Macs.

May 20, 2013 11:55 AM in response to hejpigby MichelPM,That is the type of processor.
I need to know the CPU speed of the processor (I.e. 300 MHz...350 MHz, 400 MHz, etcetera ).
I need to know this so I can determine if you may need to upgrade your OS X version to OS X Tiger 10.4.11 or not.
The USB dongles you tried may not compatible with Macs, especially older Macs and also not compatible with OS X 10.3.9 Panther.
There isn't a lot of older Mac new hardware devices any longer that will run on OS X 10.3 Panther and it is getting to be slim pickings for new Mac hardware that runs on older Mac that are still running OS X 10.4 Tiger.
Here are two that maybe compatible with your iMac as you are still running OS X 10.3.9 Panther.
