I have one of these with an IBM logo on it. The driver disk that shipped with it contains a Windows program named iP293x.exe. A Google search based on that suggests that this web cam is based on the iPassion iP2936/37 series of chips. Given that the USB product id is 2937, I assume that this one uses the iP2397 chip. This web cam has a microphone and the iP2937 chip supports microphones. The technical brochure for this chip is http://www.ipassion.com.tw/pdf/iP2937_DSH_1.pdf. The web cam is housed in a table lamp style housing that has the model number ZUL300, China patent 200630120734.X. Searching on that finds lots of different table lamp configurations, sold as promotional items, only some of which incorporate web cams. That search also finds a couple other folks who are trying to get this web cam working under Linux, without success. Works fine in Windows though :-)
