Question

can an intel cam be used with a powerbook G4

intel cam model CS330
powerbook G4 has no isight/cam and runs OS 10.4.11
No macintosh drivers for the intel cam were found, only for windows OS.

Any suggestions for a driver? Photo-booth gives a "no cam found, in use by another program" when launched. No other programs are running.

thanks

core-duo imac 17 and Cube-500@OS9.0.4, Mac OS X (10.4.11), 2GB

I suspect you're out of luck on a driver. OSX has drivers built-in for many devices, and for those those that don't exist the devices either have them on the device ROM or in unusual cases, separate drivers supplied with the device. There's a lot of devices that simply don't work on Macs.
