So the new PowerMac G5 machines come with optical audio in and out? Does anyone make such an adapter so I can have it on my 17" PowerBook?

Yes. the M-Audio Sonica. search in this forum and the PowerBook forum, there have been a few topics on it recently.

Can it be used as audio input as well?

No, it's just output. Here's its website.

you might want to look at the Edirol UA-1D: both SPDIF and Toslink in and out.

both are SPDIF, one just uses a Coaxial connection, and the other Optical.


edit: one of the features of the box you linked to is:

Diver goggles inspired blue color gives the device that athletic look

what driver goggles use rubbery-looking blue plasic, and why does a sound card need an athletic look?
