You are right, the QuickCam Express and the Lego camera have
identical vendor IDs (0x046d), but the Product IDs are different
(0x0840 for the qce and 0x0850 for the Lego camera). The software
can easily check for the right camera ;-)

I'm on-and-off experimenting with my Vision Command camera
and Georg Achers drivers; just tonight I downloaded his latest
sources, modified them a little bit (to allow for the different
product ID) and discovered that the VC has a PhotoBit chip...
Have a look over at <URL:http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/>.
