    Rapid Electronics do some Siemens versions from around £3. You can download the Optoelectronics cat section from here. They call em fibre-optic emitters & detectors.

    If you're not sure what the abit needs, I'd check their newsgroups. Google Groups is your friend. :)

    Indeed, possibly the most humourously named audio component around :p I'm just wondering, I know the square ones are TOSlinks, but are the round ones too?
