Asus S/PDIF Bracket

[kevlatimer]

Hello goodly people of Scan (and Hexus!).

Just a quick enquiry - it's already been raised as an email, but that was part of a wider issue so I didn't think it would hurt to ask here as well :-)

I got an Asus M2NPV-VM last week (thanks to Carrie@Scan for her help concluding the most evil order ever made - this one had been via two other suppliers and three credit cards, it's a long story!) but it seems our friendly motherboard manufacturer has pulled it's old trick of advertising a feature that requires a "separately purchased module" when you come to read the manual, namely the S/PDIF output. Considering this was bought for an HTPC, this is a bit of a show-stopper!

Is it possible to get hold of these things? I've found them listed in stock on one US site, but nowt over here, and Asus' website is useless for locating accessories. I had heard that most of these modules had been pulled from supply because they weren't RoHS compliant?

Any help appreciated!

Cheers,

Kev
