I used both a greyscale QuickCam and CUSeeme on my 701 under Windows 95. I'd suggest using EPP mode for the parallel port, mostly because I couldn't get it to work using ECP :-) As for various programs working with it, the key is for whatever software you're using to detect the camera as a Video capture device. If it's not looking for one, it won't accept input. I had a similar problem with VuePrint at the time, and ended up using QuickPict (which comes with the QuickCam) to capture stills and video, then viewing and manipulating them a little using VuePrint and later Paint Shop Pro. Oddly, I thought the 701 was too slow to use CuSeeme and other video apps with, and now I've got a Pentium 166MMX (upgraded the Kiwi recently - no problems so far relating to the chip) and 32MB of RAM and just use an EasyPhotoReader.
