Johann,

Camera is a Logitech QuickCam Express, about... 2 years old? Details are a bit 
sketchy, but there is:
LOG2010
Product Code: CVB1589
Batch# 480132354
CVB1589 (No idea what that is)
Product Part number: 961121-0122

Mandrake 9.0. What else can I tell you? Told you I was a newbie  ;-)

I hope that's of some help.

Thanks a lot
David
