Calibre and Sony PRS-600

lukasfikr · 08-26-2009, 05:11 PM

I have a problem - Calibe 0.6.8 cannot see my new PRS-600, with PRS-700 I have no problems.

With your 600 connected, run the following command and post the output

Code:

calibre-debug -d

And if you're on OS X also attach the file /tmp/ioreg.txt that the above command creates.

Running Win XP - tried, but cmd window closed before I managed to copy results.

I hope I found it.

Press windows key and r and in the box type cmd and press enter (or in vista type cmd and press enter in the start menu)

I am getting this:

kovidgoyal · 08-26-2009, 08:08 PM

OK next release of calibre will contain a preliminary driver that should at least detect the device on windows. If the internals are similar to the 700 it may even work for transferring books

Stinkfist · 08-26-2009, 08:15 PM

ok, figured as much, any idea on an eta???

kovidgoyal · 08-26-2009, 08:20 PM
