Looks like you have the Mac version of the QuickCam, which is indeed a
serial device, of sorts. The qcam driver is for the PC version which
is a parallel port device, and the driver directly flips bits on the
parallel port, which is why it needs the port address. So, I'd say
you're kind of out of luck from that perspective.
feature of the Mac serial port, whereby the Mac could clock data
in/out of the port at some high rate, like 1Mbps or so, which is
why the Mac version couldn't be used on a PC (and hence no x86-linux
driver for the Mac version, that I ever heard of).
