Hi, 

I got a QuickCam on monday and transformed a
Linux program into a Plan 9 driver which serves
/dev/camera and /dev/focus. /dev/camera has
the same format than /dev/screen so most of
fb/* programs work well with it. For example, 
to display some video 
	while() drop '#C'/camera
or to get a bigger picture
	resample 1280 '#C'/camera | transpose .......... | 9v

It has all the limitation of QuickCams, but for
109$ is a nice toy. We found it good for producing 
face files.

If any one is interested just let me know and
I'll post the driver.
