RE: OT: Coaxial to optical converters

["Andy Bovingdon" <bov@xxxxxxx>]

Oh boy - I thought mine was complex. I got the US Monster XBox
cable that came with optical out. I then converted that and ran an
electrical lead to the processor - only 2 opticals and loads of coax
inputs, so the opposite problem to you.

After setting all that up, I had Monster send me a prototype coax
connector for my XBox - real nice of them - works a treat.
