I think you will find the Toslink connector type for Digital Audio is actually JEITA RC-5720, not JIS F05. See http://www.toshiba.com/taec/components/ProdLineGuide/toslink.pdf
[edit] mini Toslink
Many new laptops now have a combination Headphone/Toslink output. The connector looks like a mini stereo jack except the tip has a fiber connection. You can see an image of the connector at the bottom of the webpage. Fujitsu Siemens calls this output the Spdif out. If the output is enabled in software you can see a red light inside the Jack socket when adjusting the baudrate or for a short period when removing a normal analogue jack from the socket.
