Are any Bluetooth PCMCIA cards compatible?

I am wanting to get a bluetooth mouse for my wife's G4 Titanium Powerbook, and I would prefer not having to use a USB dongle due to the flap having to be open on the back.

Are there any PCMCIA Bluetooth adapters that are OSX compatible?

also, version 3.0 of that 3com card is the only one that will work in Mac OSX, and even then you have to download a special driver called CardBluesSuite. any other version isn't going to work out for you, and forget about using the rebranded HP one. the card is impossible to find. i personally haven't seen one on eBay for quite some time!

Depends where you are. Here in Germany a 3.0 comes up regularly. Perhaps some sales channels still have the PC Card in stock.
