Hi, guys!

No reply needed: I know that drivers for this webcam are experimental, but since I have one, I thought I would submit a short report.

Procedure:

1. Updated to lastest Logitech drivers (qc801mac_enu). Rebooted.

2. QuickCapture application can't find camera.

3. Tossed out old QuickTime driver component and installed new one.

4. Plugged the cam into the second built-in USB 1.1 port (Normally connected to a USB2.0 port on a Windows XP machine). Rebooted.

5. Placed Macam in the folder /Applications/Multimedia/Macam. Fired up Macam: reports no camera. Unplugged and plugged camera in again. Still no camera.

6. Quit both iChat and Skype and restarted them. Camera doesn't show as an option.

7. Uninstalled Logitech drivers, rebooted, and repeated steps 4–6: Still can't find the camera.

8. Noted while reading Logitech's details that they don't support OS X for versions > 10.2.x!

Query: I only have USB 1.1 on this Mac. Is it possible that the camera won't run on it at all? Specs say it will, at reduced resolution.
