Re: [PLUG] webcams for linux?

[Jaiwant Mulik <jmulik@unix.temple.edu>]

Hi,

A few months back I got CREATIVE VIDEO BLASTER WEBCAM II (parallel
port version) working with linux using the cpia-1.2 driver. It works fine.

You can find there cameras for $15-$20 on ebay. I have a copy of the
driver if you need it.

Hope this helps,

bye for now,
