Compatible webcam for a clamshell

I have a non firewire iBook clamshell. Does anyone know if there is a compatible webcam that I can attach to the clamshell? iSight is out because of the firewire connector

There are a lot of webcams that will work ...I used to use the Kritter cam (via USB) for a while and the images were not that bad - even in OS 9.

Even if you find a webcam that is not officially supported for the Mac (OS X or 9) you can find most drivers through IOXperts or macam. Just click on the 'Supported Cameras' link at this macam page and browse the list of webcams that work...

Hope this helps.
