[cpia] MicroTek EyeStar

[Lucien Murray-Pitts]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, that's a start in the right direction then.  I wish
manufacturers were more "open" about historic products :-/

Sooooo one would assume that there _IS_ support under Linux for the PPT
Microtek Eyestar as it should just be another cpia-alike?  I know the
eyestar 2 is a cpia.

AFAIK the CPiA chip was/is available in two versions, parport and USB.
There is no extra ppt/usb-chip.
