What adapters are out that let you take advantage of the combo input/
output plugs that will take optical digital signals? I know Sony made
one for their CD players that used this connector but ideally, I'd
like to come from a spdif or toslink cable. Do those adapters exist? I
haven't seen any Mac advertising of the capabilities of these
connectors nor have I seen anything from the online stores you see in
the back of computer magazines.

Mac's that I've seen have a combi audio output jack, analog
via stereo 3.5mm and digital via optical. MCM, among others,
sells an optical cable that plugs into the Mac's jack on
one end and into a conventional optical jack on the other.
Will six feet reach ya?

All good fortune,
