I recently came into possession of a Connectix webcam that connects to
the parallel port and a serial keyboard port. Ancient, but interesting.
The only identifying feature on it is the now extinct Connectix Corp.
logo. It's an ancient stained-white that most late 80's-early 90's gear
is. There's a pic at

Looks like the connectix color quickcam with the adjustable focus
ring. They have fairly decent picture as I think they are CCD
chips and not CMOS. I think I've seen the divers at one of the
big driver sites. The B/W ones are often hacked and used by
astronomy groups to take high resolution photos through
telescopes.

I was just surprised by the oldness of it. I found it in a bag mixed in
with some SIMMs and old 32Mb SPARC RAM. I figured I wasn't using the
parallel port, so. Thanks for the ID.
Looks like an ocular implant the government would give an op.
