Ohh the compro dcam, it was my first webcam! Doubt you'll find drivers for any recent OS, last time I used it with... Win98?

Pointless unless you are able to make drivers for it, or somebody else has.

That is really the issue with a great many legacy devices.

Likely nowhere... It's for a Compaq computer. The drivers for Compaq products are rather limited online. They were bought out by HP in the early 2000s. As a result it's hard to find drivers for anything they sold as Compaq.

Well it's called the Compro Internet Digital Camera D-Cam. There's several ebay listings for it. I did a few searches for drivers, but I didn't find anything reputable nor did I find the D-Viewer software that came with it.
