It looks like the Linux video capture driver does handle some sort
of interface to I2C chips, but I couldn't find any references to
a home page for that project, or of Usenet messages from people
trying to interface IndyCams to other gizmos. With reconditioned
QuickCam B/W's going for $50 these days, and NTSC-out chip cams
for $75 or less... although I'd love to find a way to adapt
"free" IndyCams. Can't have too many cams.
