Because this guy says so:

He could always be lying (and my success so far might even suggest that he
is), but I continue to have hope. :)
First off, mine's a usb and until Mandrake 7.0 was released

The motherboard my old P1 166 sits on doesn't even any USB port. My camera
is a parallel port version (hence the paraport busy error). It's actually
the first rev of the color quickcam.
For USB help getting your quick cam working I wouldn't even pretend to
advise you on how to do that.
Then again, you may have a parallel Color Quickcam, but even

Actually, I have cqcam already installed. That's precisely what it's used
for. There are others as well, but I haven't explored them because I can't
get the damn driver to load.
Anybody have any advise?
Thanks,
