I think this has been asked before, but I don't see any positive replies... Has anyone hacked a Macintosh OS-X driver to support the VC LEGO-cam ? I believe someone has mentioned that the cam is really a Connectix QuickCam Web. I have found a linux driver for that cam, but don't see a OS-X or BSD version. Anyone know of one ? thanks, Ray

Details are at: http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/ and a patched version for OS X 10.3 can be found at: http://www.multi-cam.net/camera_downloads.html Tom
