   What I want to know is if anybody has got the Connectix Quickcam to work on
   a PC running Unix (pref. BSD). It's a <$100 camera that uses the parallel port.

The PC parallel-port version isn't shipping yet.  I've got an order in
to PC Connection.  Should be here any day now.  I'm going to
reverse-engineer it in my Copious Spare Time.  Documentation is
available, but only under a nondisclosure which prevents source
distribution.
