Hi, I have a few questions about the camera in the Vision Command set. Sorry if these are FAQs. Does it work on Windows 95? The box says that Windows 98 is required. Does it have any adjustable focus at all or is it just a fix focus camera? What is (...) (25 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
