I am currently working on a project involving a single board computer that, among other things, is supposed to grab images and upload them into a database. Currently, I'm using an old Connectix QuickCam 2, with the cqcam software. This works fine, but the problem is that these cams are hard to find, and can't be placed very far from the computer. So, I'm looking for another solution. I was thinking of trying to find another QuickCam-like device, but it seems that support for them is limited. Near as I can tell, all the current QuickCam models don't work at all under FreeBSD. If someone knows of one that is supported and is in production (so it can be purchased easily) that would be helpful. My other thought was to look for a frame grabber for PCMCIA or PC/104. So far, I havn't been able to find anything for PC/104, and the only PCMCIA card I've found is the IBM Smart Capture Card, which seems to be out of production. Anyone have any thoughts on this? a good suplier of the IBM cards perhaps? or a place that makes bt848/878 based PC/104 frame grabbers? thanks in advance. -- Chip Marshall <chip@chocobo.cx> http://www.chocobo.cx/chip/ Finger for PGP GCM/CS d+(-) s+:++ a18>?
