Are there any USB web cameras that can be used with OS/2-eCS? Is there any software/programs that allow OS/2-eCS to use them?

I had posted this question to the hardware section before I had remembered that there is an USB section. I apologize for the double post.

No there is not. I had tried to convince some developer to work on that, but seems to be hard to acomplish.

It will be nice for someone to make it, but we also will need some good apps to make the USB Cam have some use (like Intercom).

Thank you for the information. I guess one can only hope for a usb web cam for OS/2-eCS. I have noticed similar software/drivers at http://hobbes.nmsu.edu . I have sent the authors (when possible) e-mails about newer versions of their software. I have asked if they are no longer developing it would it be possible to open source it. I just sent the e-mails on 12-25-2003 and hoping for replys.

Most of the people I sent an e-mail to (ones listed with relevant software for webcams at http://hobbes.nmsu.edu ) were returned. The one I sent about WebCam not only replied but also sent me the source code for the WebCam program but also for WebCamTools. I will try to upload it to Hobbes. I can send it - via e-mail - to anyone who is interested. My e-mail is tomleem@attglobal.net .
