I was going to take this off list, but others may learn from your info:
1. Is it true that the Webcam should work if ONLY the DB-25 is plugged in. y or
n.
2. Is it true that the Webcam should work if ONLY the BIG 5 PIN is plugged in.
y or n.
3. Is it true that the Webcam should work if ONLY the ADB is plugged in.
y or n.
AND FINALLY,
4. Is it true that the Webcam should work if ONLY the USB is plugged in. y or n.
5. If I get a USB and cut the end off and splice the wires will the cam work y
or n.
Maybe this is a lost cause?
