Issues with PM 8600 and Connectix QuickCam
Posted by: Opardalis on 2017-02-02 19:04:48
So this is a bot odd, but... I have a color Connectix QuickCam that I am trying to use to setup a vintage Mac webcam. I was going to use a Quadra 605 but its not really fast enough for a decent video stream. So I decided to use the PM 8600. Its currently running 8.1, and when I connect the camera and install the software, the camera returns a completely garbled picture - all static. At first I thought I broke the camera or something but as soon as I connect back to my IIfx or Quadra 605 it works fine.

Did the 8600 have a weird speed serial or something?

Are you running the latest driver for the camera? Maybe there was a PowerPC patch in a later version.
