I have one of these, but it's not a webcam, it's a digital camera.
COnnects via serial. AFAIK there are no drivers for it to be used as a
webcam, though it does come with Epson PhotoPC utilities which allow you
to see a preview for a few minutes of live video, and click a button on
the PC to take a snap.

I'd say it's possible you might be able to write something to achieve
use as a webcam, but unless you can get hold of the relevent info, next
to impossible.

Webcams these days aren't all that expensive to buy, and most offer
better resolutions than my Epson digital camera.
