The Cookbook Camera in 2006…

Sadly, the Cookbook camera has become obsolete. It is now difficult or impossible to find the CCD chips the Cookbook is based on. Nobody in his right mind would put up with our MS-DOS software nowadays, and the CBWinCam software written for Win95 and Win98 is not fully compatible with Windows 2000 or Windows XP. This page is posted for "old time's sake."
