So far the autorun doesn't appear to work at all on PRS-600. The device ignores autorun.xml. Perhaps some signature or some other means of identification is required to enable the autorun to execute. We just don't know at this point.

The best hope is to take the unit apart, find the serial port, hook up a Serial-TTL cable...
