I got brave...
I did rmmod mod_quickcam and then Windows in VMWare picked up the camera, and
I could see my partner in crime but not vice versa, and I got a message about
VMWare not supporting synchronous something (I forget, sorry) so be prepared
for it not to work. There is an indicator for the camera connection (as for
the hdd, nic, etc) that was full green the whole time (meaning flat out), so
it was busy doing something.
Seems like VMWare is not the best way of doing this...
cheers
