Please find attached a short mail I sent to Luis Villa for
inclusion in the next version of the Linux-Mindstorms-HOWTO.

Hi,
A tidbit of information for the next version of the HOWTO:
The Vision Command camera is an USB Quickcam camera with a
microphone builtin. Unfortunately, there is no real support for
USB Quickcams (a quick google search shows that there is no vendor
support and no documentation :-( ).
Georg Acher (acher@in.tum.de) wrote a quick-and-dirty driver
for the Quickcam Express, and I'm on-and-off trying to hack his
driver to accept the Vision Command camera too, but as for now
without a lot of success.
Georgs Homepage is at <URL:http://www.in.tum.de/~acher>
