TOSLINK transmitters and receivers should work just fine for this - and they are cheap. These are the optical inputs and outputs often seen on audio equipment. 8 MB/s TX Digi-Key 425-1100-5-ND $1.87 @ 10 8 MB/s TX Digi-Key 425-1108-5-ND $2.52 @ 10 I also use parts from Industrial Fiber Optic - these have the advantage that you can just use cut fiber instead of needing that fancy square piece of plastic (TOSLINK) at the end of the fiber. But the above transmitters and receiver part numbers are dead simple to use. dwayne -- Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax Celebrating 19 years of Engineering Innovation (1984 - 2003) .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .- `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' Do NOT send unsolicited commercial email to this email address.
