Well, hell, maybe I need to start a complete reimplimentation of the QuickCam driver!! In the short term, though, I can work on a few things: * VC support (at least to make it not crash!) - I have access to a QuickCam VC, so I can certainly test it out; I will attempt to look for more information regarding the protocol, but if I run into any NDA's, I'm not gonna be able to contribute any code I make :( * ppbus support... sure, don't see that being way too hard Any caveats for me before I start with the VC stuff?
