Quickcam with OSX?

January 17, 2004 5:55 AM

At one time I had the URL for a website that provided a patch/driver that allowed you to use a Logitech USB Quickcam Messenger -- the ones with the good Christmas rebates? -- with OS X. But now I can't find it, whether via Google or Sourceforge or Google Groups (which appear to be down). Can anyone help? I'm about to belatedly give one to my sister for her Powerbook, and I'd like to be able to, you know, make it work.

I don't know if this driver at versiontracker will work, but the comments on the driver page may point you in the right direction:

I think you're looking for iChatUSBCam.

Maccam - USB webcam driver for mac OS X.

Open source project, but the drivers haven't been updated since June 2003, and I found them to be kind of flaky under OS X 10.3
