I've spent the better part of the night looking for drivers to get this combo working. While I don't expect to use the included software (windows only), I've never had such difficulty finding drivers for a usb camera before. Does anyone have any (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) You could always sell it to someone. I'd buy it for a small markup from 75% off!!! and I suspect others would too. But before you throw in the towel, I thought this camera was a Logitech repackaged but hardware identical. So if you can (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) My initial search did reveal that tidbit Lar, but since I was alredy the owner of a Logitech cam, I was already in posession of the drivers. Those didn't work, so I started the hunt for drivers that might. 12 different camera drivers later, (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) The camera is a Logitech QuickCam Web, the round variety. I don't think there's any difference in the electronics between the square or the round ones though. Unfortunately Logitech doesn't make any drivers for it for the Mac. I was just over (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) But have you tried these drivers? Backwards compatability is often present in newer drivers. Also, has anyone tried plugging the camera in with iMovie open to see if it's drivers will recognize the camera? Matt (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

The Studios software can actually work with other cams (at least it works with my Creative cam). The trick is to alter the Registry entry to the name of your other cam (noted from System Control Panel). Likewise, I would guess that the Pinnacle (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)
