I have just been given a couple of EyeStars, and am now looking for drivers.
From what I can find they don't seems to be CPiA based (but I could be
wrong!). I ended up looking up the FCC code (at
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/). From the documentation there the two chips
on the motherboard appear to be (and I had to lighten the pics to see
these!)
Winbond W241024AJ
Winbond W9966CF
I'm new to all this, but there seems to be a good doc on the latter chip at
the Winbond site:
http://www.winbond.com.tw/product/overview/visual/p_c0284.htm
I have now reached a bit of a deadend though... are there any other cameras
that use this chip? Or are there any other avenues I can look down as I
think I might have reached a dead end now!
Cheers
Rich
