I think, any USB-Device works on OSx86 like on a real mac - except special system components. I mean, from mouses to keyboards, from tv-sticks (eyetv!) to micros, everything works. Isn't that great?
too bad my intel webcam amera manufactured in the year 2000 is not supported. =(
And there are no drivers for mac on the Intel-Homepage?
none that I am aware off. I'll check and get back. came with my compaq 7000t 8 years ago. lol its the intel cs120 webcam
@crawleAnd there are no drivers for mac on the Intel-Homepage?
@demigod, who makes the card? where did you buy it from?
