Thank you Wade,

Just after I posted my e-mail I had a look to see what's available from 
EBay and I see that most adaptors use a RTL chip and I also see that the 
firmware/ rtl_bt directory contains many drivers so I expect one of 
those adaptors should work. One of them, a Bluetooth 4 adaptor, is on 
the list that you posted. A slightly cheaper Bluetooth 5 adaptor is also 
available.

How does the adaptor integrate with the Bluetooth Manager? I image that 
the internal Bluetooth adaptor is set to off but then how does one 
search for a device?
