Hey guys,
I have a question regarding an old Mac Pro 1,1 I recently acquired. I noticed that the existing WiFi card is spotty and also it has no Bluetooth. I've done a couple of successful WiFi/BT4 upgrades on Mac Pro 4,1/5,1 models and noticed that the Mac Pro 1,1 has similar mini PCIe for the WiFi. Question: is the upgrade the same, meaning getting a mini PCIe riser card and attaching a WiFi/BT4 module to it? In the 4,1/5,1, you have to run a D-/D+ cable back to the BT module, so I'm not 100% sure if it would work the same on the 1,1 since the BT module attaches differently.
I've watched a few videos on YT, but they're inconclusive when it comes to the 1,1
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance! JP
