Hello!

I'm very interested in this driver. After reading your posting,
I immediately ordered a QuickCam and now all I need is your
driver. Please mail it to me, or post it, or put it on a ftp
server and tell me from where I can get it.

Regards,

P.S.: Please excuse my impatience - I send you a similiar mail on
friday, but haven't got an answer yet -, but I really `want' this
piece of software!
