I agree wholeheartedly. If we remove pp support, then we can also remove
the bw-qcam and c-qcam drivers since they too use the parallel port.
BTW, I also have a cpia1 camera available for testing. I can also test
ov511 (I saw that you added support for that to gspca). Ditto for the
stv680 and w9968cf.
Note that I can mail these devices to you if you want to work on
integrating them into gspca. I'm pretty sure I won't have time for that
myself.
Regards,
Hans
