USB Camera on Amiga?

[tonyw]

Has anyone used a USB camera on an Amiga? How do you get the Amiga to read the camera? Does it appear as a DOS disk? Do you need a Mountlist entry for it? What?

Thanks, Kurt, I already have a Thylacine card in my 4000. When I connect the camera, the USB recognises the camera, but it doesn't appear on the Workbench, so I thought maybe it needs a DOSdriver mountlist entry (like a CD) before it will appear. Is your camera a DOS device? How is it structured? Mine looks like a FAT disk on a PC.

I don't have the Poseidon stack AFAIK. Maybe I'm iggorant of these distros, but I thought the Poseidon stack was not used with the Thylacine, only with the Spider.

I can't find "UMSD#?" on my system disc or the 3.9 distro disc. It didn't come with the Thylacine hardware or drivers, so is it part of the Spider package?

WTF is Trident?? Part of Poseidon?

I don't use fat95 (although I did with Amithlon a year ago) - I use CrossDos.

Maybe I'm missing stuff from my 3.9 distro - it's 3.9 from the Amithlon disc. Since I'm not using Amithlon or AmigaXL, I'm using the included 3.9 on my 4000.

I think we're talking about different animals here. You are talking about Highway/Subway, I'm talking about Thylacine. I don't know if there's any software in common.

Chris? Maybe you can educate me. Are you saying that the Poseidon software will run the Thylacine? Or that some of it already does?

OK, after some Googling, I've found out that I could run the Poseidon drivers on my Thylacine card. Is this correct? It won't erase my hard disc? :nervous:

If I did install the Poseidon system, I would then get access to other peripherals that are not yet supported by the Thylacine software? True or false?

Thanks, Chris, that clears it all up.
