I want a camera which is (a) affordable, say <$200, (b) reasonable
resolution, say 640x480 min, (c) available in the USA by mail order, and
(d) supported by Linux.
I was looking at the Conntix color cam, 640x480, and was planning to use
parallel port because some system, like a laptop, don't have a PCI slot
at all, and even servers may not have one for a camera. I'd even do
serial, the camera may do 24 fps, but I have no need for it.
