I don't know.  Mine isn't - I have no case around the board to connect
it to, and it's not clear from the doco just what it is that it expects
to be connected to: power supply output ground, earth ground, what?

Very few power supplies have an earth-ground output line.  Ideally, all
of the power supply's output lines are well isolated from any input
lines (though this is admittedly unlikely to be true of a switching
power supply); the connection the doc speaks of may be a precaution to
ensure that the board ground is earthed even if the power supply ground
isn't.

Can't say; I haven't looked, and unless it's quite cheap I wouldn't buy
one anyway - I believe my digital logic skill is sufficient to handle
setting up two 377s. :-)
