Mark 2000 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I just tried bootcamp 1.1 on my mac mini with an external isight. The drivers won't install. I get a "this driver does not contain information about your device" message. Does this mean mac mini users will never webcam support? Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong?

knobsi Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 yesterday, i extracted the installation for xp with pacifist trying to get my external isight running under xp on pc. the driver contains a remark " only for built in isight ". so, till now no chance to get it running via firwire, i guess !! greetz knobsi Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24781-still-no-external-isight-support/#findComment-168228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektricity Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 The internal iSighs are on a USB2 bus so the drivers will not work for the External firewire iSight Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24781-still-no-external-isight-support/#findComment-168745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karakino Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 The internal iSighs are on a USB2 bus so the drivers will not work for the External firewire iSight So this is the problem... That the internal isight got an usb connection... I got the same problem with my external isight and a dual boot system with acronis os selector... In osx obviously no problems, in windows xp the isight is not recognized well, it is recognized as a generic 1394 webcam and no builtin microphone support... Is there a way to utilize a connector that convert the firewire signal to usb2 using a firewire to usb2 connector? If yes, the drivers inside the latest boot camp will work well using isight with this?
