    MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro 4,1 and a 5th PCI-E connector?

    The airport connector looks like a mini PCI-E connector and it got me thinking has anyone equipped this port with anything other than a wifi/bt card? It may lack a +5V or +12V power pin as there are separate wires for the airport card (which include the antenna, but one of them is for power?)...

    Just got a 2017 Macbook Pro with 16GB Ram, 560 Radeon and 512 SSD. It was an unbeatable offer, so I couldn’t pass it up.

    I was so happy to discover the Command-F "Show Filter Field" option works in the same way the old Find/Search box did in iTunes.
