Like this - just the little black toslink "box" that I can fit to a PCB?



Basically, I have one of these;

But mines the later one without the optical audio output

Now, I took it apart and looked at the PCB inside - it still has the space and the holes in it for an optical toslink header.....

So, I was wondering if I got hold of the header itself, could I fit it to the PCB to see if the firmware still supported it?

Found this on Google;



Toshiba TOTX173 - Farnell's site doesn't list them tho.... Don't know if the 177 will do the same thing mind.... Seems that TORX is a reciever (input) and TOTX is a Transmitter (ouptut)....

But can't order off that site Eagle posted - as minimium order os £20 excluding VAT

I thought that aswell - I have an optical soundcard, and they can be bought on ebay for less than a tenner - but a tenner is a lot of money if this don't work. And it's a lot fo money if I cannot remove the optical header from the soundcard with the pins intact

shouldn't be that hard to do .. need to find out what voltage it supplies on the board... from what i have seen some require 3.3volts and some 5 volts
