This came through on the QuickCam drivers list. The EggCam is a cheap alternative to the QuickCam. It looks like it comes with a Intel SVR3-style card on board. In case anyone wanted to shoot one of these down. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 21:30:11 -0400 (EDT) From: Stew Benedict <benedict@netcom.com> To: quickcam-drivers@crynwr.com Subject: Re: EggCam Not Quickcam again but good news on the Eggcam front. I bought a real Miro PCTV card and the bttv module, grab and xtvscreen work fine with the Eggcam. I'm not sure what's different from the one that comes with the Eggcam, they look like identical boards, just parts missing such as the tuner and the audio on the Eggcam version. Also the part number is different. They both have bt848 chips, identical part numbers, different date codes. The only other clue is the bttv module identifies the Eggcam version as Happauge (sp?) and the other as Miro. Anyway, you CAN buy the Eggcam without the card, and then but the Miro card, mine was $99 from PCConnection.
