Problems using QuickCam w/ new IO card...
I finally went out and purchased a new IO card so that I could
get a second parallel port to connect both my QuickCam and printer. The
new card is a SIIG Enhanced IDE Master VL. The problem now is that
the video from the quickcam is AWFUL... The picture appears stable
w/ xfqcam, however, horizontal imaging is destroyed. Horizontal lines
are extrememly jagged, and faces, etc are pretty blurry (I would
imagine, because of the horizontal problem). Vertical images (put up
a finger) appear WAYY too long to be real.
I started using the port in bi-directional EPP mode, but
received the error and didn't know what to do to the code to 'hack
qc_readbyte'. I changed the port to standard parallel, and got the
blurry picture. Changing the port to bi-directional ECP gets rid of
the message, but the bluriness is still there.
I was getting great pictures with an old no-name IO card,
but needed to pick up a new card so that I could use the printer also.
Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Here's a sample of the pictures. The white blotch in front
of me SHOULD be the top edge of an envelope...
