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. :)

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.
