Anyone know if an adapter exists that will allow me to use standard computer speakers with my DA tower? I've got some good Logitech speakers w/subwoofer that I can't use because of the non-standard Apple mini jack.

The mini jack Apple uses is non-standard?

So, you have a G5 tower with the digital audio ports, and Logitech speakers with, I'm guessing, the 3 surround-sound mini jack connectors?

I'm using an old G4 Digital Audio tower, not a G5. The DA's only have Apple's special Pro mini-jack. It's too small for the standard size mini-jack that most PC speakers use. I'm asking if there is an adapter that I can plug into my tower that will allow me to use standard PC speakers. Griffin makes an adapter that will let you use stereo receiver speakers with the DA tower, but I don't want that.
