XBOX Live Vision Camera

I apologize if this topic has been covered, but I couldn't find a solution among the previous discussions. I have an XBox Live Vision camera which other Mac users say is "plug and go," but nothing happens when I plug the camera in. ( I hope to use the camera with IChat or Skype) The computer is not recognizing the camera at all. Is my computer too old?

PowerPC Mac G4, Mac OS X (10.4.11), Dual 1.42 GHz

I dowloaded the ecamm software and that did not work. I will have to try a different web cam. Can anyone suggest one that would work with USB 1?

Go Back to the iChatUSBCam page and their Camera Guide

Should be able to work out from there what is popular and what is likely
You want one that has or you can get a Mac Driver for (either macam or IOXperts).

There are two tables.
The second lists older out of Production items (You may find these still on someone's shelf though)
