PS2 EYE TOY USED AS P.C WEB CAM

    Hi all, i have just found that if you plug your "PS2 Eye Toy" into your p.c (XP PRO) it will be reconised as a "logitech Eye Toy USB Camera" which is a good thing, but the bad thing is that i cant find a driver to enable it to work.
    Do any of you have / know of where i can get hold of one (free of course).
    If this works then i should imagine that the quality from the eye toy would be better than that from a cheap web cam, but we will have to see when (if) i find a suitable driver.
    Many thanks

    thank you very much for your help, as it is i found this website which provided me with the correct drivers needed, http://www.ionstorm.co.uk/files/sairuk/ followed the links / details for instruction.
    all set up and running very good quality better than any other web cam i have seen. resolution excellent and the mike on the eye toy 2 is very good too.
    maybe i was a bit quick to post this thread as i sorted this out myself, but hey i am a newbie.
    thank you very much for your help though.

    Well i guess the eye toy is better than it seemed to me at first, a 2 in 1 combo, a ps2 game thingy, and a PC webcam. I might just try and get my hands on one of those....
