I have a Sony USB driver in my Program Files. It's time stamped 2007.

The full path is C:\Program Files\Sony\Sony Reader\USBDriver, and there are 3 files: PRSUSB.sys, PRSUSB.cat, PRSUSB.inf.

If anyone can confirm this is the one for the PRS-500, I'd be happy to share a copy of these files.

*I started out with a 500, but I didn't think this laptop was quite as old as that...could be though, it's about 5 years old. Or it could be the software from a later version still had the driver for backward compatibility.

I also have back copies of Calibre somewhere from when it was called LIBPRS (or something close to that). They're on CD, so I'd have to dig them out, but I know I have backups somewhere.
