A QuickTake 100 or 150 is OK. Not the greatest resolution (320x240 or 
640x480) and the color artifacts can get bad sometimes, especially in 
poor lighting or when photographing something like a line drawing or a 
piece or paper with text on it. But for shots in good lighting it's not 
bad for the price.

The differences between the 100 and 150 are:
100 gets 32 picts at 320x240 and 8 at 640x480
100 gets 32 picts at 320x240 and 16 at 640x480
150 came with a 10-12" close-up lens.



I've seen these for sale ($100-$150) here:

but I can't vouch for the company except to say they've been around a 
long time.

Doesn't say wether you get software or not. The serial cable is just the 
standard Apple printer cable.

There's always eBay.

Another problem is that you can't download the software from Apple 
anymore, well sort of. You can download the Quicktake Development Kit 
from here:
ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/QuickTake_Digital_Camera.s
it.hqx

However I can't confirm that this will work, but it does have the 
extensions and an app for accessing the camera.
