Re: TTL SPDIF -> TOSLINK

I've got one of the these in my PC, mounted on the front panel so I can
just
plug the toslink cable from it into the minidisc recorder. Works like a
dream (and has done for a few years). I got mine from Simon Corner
(http://www.sc-elec.demon.co.uk/)
who was really helpful to an electronic
numbnut like me.

The home for all this sort of stuff is
