Well, looks like I will send it to Thomas then. I'm glad that it can still be
useful.

I tried simply adding the usb-id to the list in mr97310a.c, but as that didn't
produce anything useful (green screen), I thought I'll leave it to the pros :)

Yup, just downloaded some driver from the net (can look up the URL if needed).

I am pretty sure this is the same camera. "elta medi@ digi-cam" is printed on
the front-side. The model number "8212DC" is just on a glued label on the
down-side which may not be present on all charges or may have been removed or
got lost somehow. I could make pictures of the cam if this helps.

I am not at home this weekend, so I don't have access to my Linux-machines. I
have the camera with me as I tested it on a Windows machine here; I could
send it like tomorrow. Thomas, is it okay for you, if I leave this to you?
