The Toshiba Stack only supports a limited number of Bluetooth adapters. For absolute maximum compatibility, buy a Bluetooth adapter that is specifically designed to use the Toshiba Bluetooth stack; look for "Toshiba Bluetooth Software" somewhere on the package or for "Toshiba" in the comments on the online store.
