I have a Creative WebCam (I think it's a WebCam 3) that's OV511-
compatible.  Look at http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/cameras.html .

I also have a Connectix (now Logitech) QuickCam VC.  It didn't have a
Linux driver when it first came out, but someone's working on a reverse-
engineered driver, which may or may not have made it into the 2.6
kernel:
