When I plug it in, nothing seems to happen!
Machine don't start or it is start just EXDOS not detected?
Connection problems are common problems.
Firstly try to clean connections.
When connect the bridge to EXDOS view from the bottom the pins going in the right way to the edge connector.
If you now have a opened machine then easy to view the motherboard-bridge connection are right.
If all connection are perfect then need advanced error finding.
Does it need an external power supply to the bus bridge? I don't remember having to use one.
Not needed.
