Where can I get a TOSlink optical PCB header?
Like this - just the little black toslink "box" that I can fit to a PCB?
Basically, I have one of these;
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...=97124&doy=5m3
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?
Pic of PCB;
Optical header spot is far left, next to the VGA output...

Doubt a phono header would work, as I want it to transmit digital multichannel audio. Can't use coax, don't have a spare coax input, and don't fancy having to use the optical-to-coax converters (which are pretty shit and need to be plug powered!)
I've looked on Maplins site, Misco, Microdirect, Dabs, ebuyer - can't find fuck all!
Part number is TOTX173 or TOTX177, made by Toshiba. Found some for sale on an American website tho..... Fuck all here in UK - cept one place (Farnells) but they only do minimum order of £20 excl. VAT

Just order some other bits. Unless you are in the trade, you're not going to get it cheaper.
