[cpia] Webcam 3 pp version not being detected

[Affan Ahmed]

Thankyou all for your replies,
All of you seem to agree on one thing WebCam3 does not work with CPiA.
but the problem is that it says on source forge that ov511 supports it.
On ov511 site (http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/faq.html) i find out that
it only supports Webcam 3 with USB. I quote:
"Q: I have a parallel port camera. Does your driver support it? 
A: The OV511 chip supports the USB bus only. The CPiA chip is used in
many parallel cameras, notably some revisions of the Creative Labs
WebCam3 Parallel, and in some USB cameras. You can find drivers for the
CPiA here . Surprisingly, the USB version of the WebCam3 uses the
OV511, not the CPiA, probably since the OV511 supports higher
resolutions and is therefore (arguably) a better chip. "

The parallel port version works with CPiA. And i am back on this list
again!!! ( Actually i had already tried ov511 before coming to you
guys)

So can any one help now.
