Received today from Nashua, NH, bcdDevice is 0.08. Too bad they're still selling out the 08 version. Initial testing under Debian Sid in Ekiga (using V4L2 plugin), Skype, Guvcview, Luvcview all working fine, however, on an Epox 9NPA+ Ultra motherboard.

Hi LG, did you try to buy the webcam from Amazon? Was it BCD 9?I'd like to use a Logitech QuickCam Sphere AF (BCD 9) on Linux.ThanksStefano

Bummer, still no responses re: which version Amazon is shipping. On of my RHEL5 linux users wants a webcam and I'd like to recommend this one. But I'm not going to do that and risk Amazon shipping an older model.

Just got mine today. BCD 8 - sorry. Had to take the plunge. I will let you know whether it works anyway. The incompatibility is apparently only with certain USB controllers.

I just received one today and the REV says 008. The shipping notice indicated it came from Federal Way Washington.

Overstock sent me the 9 a couple of months ago, so if you need to order online maybe they are the place to go until Amazon shifts the old units. 9 works great out of the box with Skype.

As of November 2009, Amazon is still shipping BCD 8 of the Orbit AF. Not sure about other models like the Quickcam Pro 9000.

Sebastian, thanks for the valuable info! Could you also tell where did you get this information from? I hope that source was not static and it gets ongoing updates about newer models ..

DashCamTalk.com lists Blueskysea/BAIKLOV/SpyTec as preferred sellers. Whereever you buy from make sure you get a camera with the Novatek 96650 chipset. Some cameras that look like this one use a lower end Novatek 96620 chipset. It is easy to miss and the 20 is junk.Also be aware different colors from the same seller can have different firmware versions so you may want to ask ahead of time.Check B00JTOBZJI and B00JJ3SQRI

Amazon shipped the Quickcam pro for notebooks. Not the wecam C905! I checked now on my camera what is the P/N (the tag attached to the USB cord) and what logitech has on these. Well, found now that the Logitech Quickcam pro for notebooks p/n is 860-000108 (which is what I got when I bought from Amazon the presumable new C905. )According to Logitech site the Webcam C905 p/n is 860-000231!So these are not the same. Still what is the actual difference between these cameras.? They look the same...??best

No. Everyone who bought one has been waiting for at least 11 months with the company saying something is in development. I returned mine because it still has no 8.1 support

lol. that post is Sept 3 a month after I posted I was not supported. Maybe they added support. But if you look in the skype forums they say they only support HD with hardware camera.

The Netgear web site finally stopped showing "Coming Soon" but they had none in stock to buy. I finally saw availability on Amazon's site this morning so I bit the bullet. Unfortunately they STILL show 1-2 month wait while another company said it had 10 in stock at the time, but for $25 more. There are a couple of "reviews" from "beta" testers already out but there's nothing written that I would call good information yet about the hardware. If they were "beta testers" then they may have had previous firmware or even hardware revision units like the ones with less RAM.

Good Question? and a lot of us want to know that answer if Amazon or one of it's 52 vendors showing for this board, actually have the C2 in stock yet. Who knows the answer please?

Dont know, but picked up version 6 from Best buy fall of 2006, works out of the box, NO issues at all and have put it through the paces, to date have not rebooted, hell I did not even load the software on the CD. Check the addition product info from users at the bottom of the main page for info links summarizes everything."GL" is the continuation of the Linux support, also has the additional memory like the original "G" versions.

Presumably OS 10.6 since it requires a thunderbolt port and the first generation that included them were released in 2011. Just know that usb3 support wasn't added to the os until 10.8

The latest firmware is still 1.03, I believe. The one I got from Amazon back in June was the latest version 1.03.

The latest firmware is V1.05. I hope all of the old stock is gone and only the latest firmware version is being sold.

The seller I bought from also shows version 7 and version 8. I bought two one at a time from the same vender. Both times I received version 8

I've update Amazon's product description to show the compatible devices, so I'm not sure when their website will update with it. I'm contemplating emailing Amazon to remove the product number from this product's keyword section.Looks like you can only buy a quick release kit directly from Garmin.

Hi,We have no idea. We received these from Moultrie 3 weeks ago so we believe they would be the latest version. We were not aware of a firmware issue.Thanks,

2255 does NOT work under Linux. Do your research before you buy. At this time, there are no drivers for the newer version, 2255, of this card. Some users of MythTV have reported that even when they ordered a 2250, they got a 2255 in the box and it won't work. If you are building a Linux based HTPC, I'd recommend a Silicon Dust product as they have great support for Linux.

Here's the thing, I threw out the packaging. Either way, Monster still quarantee's that if product becomes obsolete, they will upgrade for free. I believe 15.8 is the current standard. Sorry not of much assistance.
