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
