I can report success with a EPOX BT-DG02 dongle on both XP SP2 and Mac OS X 10.4.7. I've taken the liberty of putting this data in a ViaList (an application I've been working on for a while). It's available to all at (URL) monitor this thread and (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Thank's for setting up that list. Is there a way to tell if an adapter has been tried and doesn't work, or just hasn't been tried? Note that I did get he Kensington to work on XP and OS X as you can see from my later post. (18 years ago, 7-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I can confirm the Targus USB Bluetooth 2.0 adapter with EDR (model # ACB10US) works on the PC. $30 at Staples. The adapter is Mac-compatible, but I don't have a Mac to test the NXT connectivity. (18 years ago, 7-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Thanks. I'll fix the list later today to show tested / untested, and review the entries that have been added... didn't get to do that yesterday. (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Here's an addition to your list: Device MFG: D-LINK Device Model: DBT-122 Cost: $23.00 SGD Works fine on Win XP BTW, the DBT-120 has been phased out. This one didn't work: Device MFG: Billionton Device Model: USBBTC1A Cost: $29.00 SGD Nogo on (...) (18 years ago, 8-Aug-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Correction, Tried again with the Billionton and managed to get it to work. The trick is not to use the software that came with the adapter but rather to use the native drivers in WinXP. So uninstall the application software. Insert the adapter (...) (18 years ago, 9-Aug-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I'm not able to make it work. Have EPoX BT-DG02 and XP SP2. If I scan with the NXT-sw, nothing is detected. If I try to do a manual connection from the NXT, it discovers the PC, but after saying "Connecting" it says "Line is Busy". Any (...) (18 years ago, 23-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

I've updated the compatibility list at (URL) reflect this update. It APPEARS that as a rule, one should try using the native XP drivers first, and only install the vendor-provided drivers if necessary. Some of those vendor drivers may not uninstall (...)

(...) Uninstalling the provided driver and then reinstalling using the XP-driver made it work with the NXT. Thanks! Thomas (18 years ago, 26-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)
