I'm sorry.,
In my answer to Simon I wasn't clear enough.
I gave the URL for the toslink converter circuit, which is needed only if
you want to connect your CD-ROM drive
to an optical input or some device, if one has a Coax input in his/her
device, such a circuit is not needed, a simple coax or shielded
cable would do the trick.
Cheers.
