  • Q:Why must I reboot the computer when I install the drivers?
  • A:Normaly you don't have to, but sometimes the camera is it a state where the driver can not comunicate with it.
    Instead of rebooting, it might help to disconnect/reconnect the camera, and then restart the MediaServer.

  • Q:Why don't you just use Be's parallel port driver?
  • A:Even though Be's driver might be IEEE1284 complient, it seems like the CPiA cameras don't follow the 1284 specs 100%.

  • Q:Where's the USB driver?
  • A:Nonexisting; BeOS does not yet support isochronous transfers, and this is not likely to change before Maui is released. Another reason is that I don't (yet) own a USB camera :)
