    I haven't seen any internal pics (8900, in my case), but I always wondered if Bluetooth card compatibility was designed into this series, but just not offered.

    Basically, is there a card slot or connector on the mobo for a Bluetooth card? (Aside from the mini-pci one)

    It's not as if the FS series is filling landfills already. Has anyone cracked one open, or seen the bare mobo?

    *sigh*

    Does anyone know what the FS-8900 motherboard part number is? If no one can help with the other info, then maybe I can dig up a picture of the motherboard on my own to see it there's a slot for it.
