Asus A7N266-VM (not AA) and S/PDIF out, modem...

[fs11]

Does the ASUS A7N266-VM (not AA) come with a separate SPDIF bracket for connecting to external receivers/decoders? The pdf manual doesn't mention an SPDIF bracket as one of the package contents, and i'll be buying online so I can't know for sure unless someone confirms it for me.

Also, does this mobo have an onboard modem (yeah i know i know, im still on 56k

Both the AA and non-AA ones come with an S/PDIF outlet plate that has both an RCA-style and an optical connector, provided you get the retail-boxed board and not an OEM one. In this picture, it's the one on the right. Nice board, we've got 19 of them at work (so far).

Oh, and no modem capabilities onboard, sorry. A PCI Winmodem shouldn't set you back too much, however.
