School needs to buy video cameras for PowerMac 5500'	Can't Post

Please Help - I am trying to buy at least 8 Quick Cam camera to hook up to some Mac 5500's to do video conferencing at our elementary school. I know Logitech used to sell ones that hooked right into the printer or modem port, but they seem to be discontinued. Does anyone know where I can still find some? THANKS!!!

They still make them, but for USB ports. Serial is gone.
Quick Cam VC and QC Pro.
Kensington also makes a few models - USB as well.
So either you can upgrade the macs or try to find used
and get USB/serial adapters (an additional $80 each).
Wish I had better news for you!

Scott,
I teach tech. ed. in Pennsylvania and I've been lucky to aquire many discontinued items such as video cards and even damaged cameras for parts over eBay. I then get reimbursed through my school.
