Got one of these free with something a long time ago:

http://static.ubid.com/mgen/vximg/scale.ms?args=%221_10045640_0.jpg%22,400,400

The picture is just to give you an idea, its prolly not the exact model. It's kinda weird it works like this

EDIT: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.jcoppens.com/globo/gl4pre/cam/weecam/img/wee002.jpeg&imgrefurl=http://www.jcoppens.com/globo/gl4pre/cam/weecam/intern.php&h=396&w=400&sz=22&tbnid=WFgFo9PxEHGdeM:&tbnh=118&tbnw=120&hl=en&start=2&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dweecam%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff
this is a spanish page or osmething that shows the exact camera i have. have a look

parallel port - reads data from camera
ps/2 or serial port provides power.

working together one powers the unit and the other reads.

Now the exact model is: well -- actuaally i dont knoiw. Its the one that says Earthlink / Sprint on it and i believe its made by allaris and the model is a weecam.

What do i need to do to get this working. Id like to do what windows does like when you go to explorer and it shows a live preview. thats kinda neat. ill figure out the other software for web and recording and stuff whenever. any ideas ? :)

Thanks!

I know its an old post, but doesn't look promising. http://qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=731

The issue might be that because of its age, no developer would have a version to even work on.
(And how many people have this? Blame the company :) )
