OT: TOTX173, where can i find it?

[loki]

i need to find the Toshiba TOTX173 TOSlink optical transmitter, to build a toslink output for my audigy2, do you know an online retailer or some other place where i can find it? possibly in europe, but if it's in the US it's good as well, as long as they don't have outrageous shipping fees...
thanks!

Not exactly the one you are looking for, but //www.pollin.de has a Toslink transmitter for 0.95â,¬ (no. 450 572)

You can easily build this yourself btw, all you need is a red LED (certain wavelength though) and a small resistor, you simply hook it up to the digital out. If you want to build the deluxe version you include a hex inverter to buffer the TTL signal but it usually works without it (added an SPDIF output to my cd-rom drive that way).
