wireless quickcam




I had a random idea that I am almost certain wouldn't work, but it would 
be extremely cool if it would.  I have seen those mitsumi wireless 
printing systems for around $100.  I suppose they basically extend a 
parallel port wirelessly and my understanding is that they do not use any 
special drivers or anything but just retransmit and boost the parallel 
port signal.  I know the quickcam is extremely sensitive to cable length, 
but I do not know if the problem is signal loss or some type of impedence 
thing.  At any rate, has anyone tried this or know for sure that it 
wouldn't work. A wireless cam for around $200 would be way cool
