I did a short test. I modified the data on the device in a way that it identifies itself as eReader-99.10. As expected, windows does connect to the ereader.

But, did calibre recognises it to??... I only know that in between the reader does rebooted twice... I can try to repeat it, but I don't know the steps exactly anymore.. what I do noticed 5 seconds ago, my weather and Boat/plane radar system ( works on sended transponders on boats or planes ) doesn't work also.
All connected to a D-Link 7 ports USB hub.
So I put the input of the hub to another usb port on the computer.. all that stupid things are asking for drivers already installed but when you put them on another port,you have to re-install it again.. Then put it back again to the old one and there are my weather station and flight data again.
On my desk are 2 USB cables.. one connected to the D-Link, but second one is connected to the rear of the computer directly.
I know I did powered of and on the reader when used option one,because calibre say it could not read it's database.. some guy on the internet has written,when this happens restart your reader again without power supply cable attached... maybe I have switched then the cables and connected my reader on the D-Link that already was in error but I didn't was aware of until now.... that could do a lot of explaining... still not why it tries to download the firmware while it already was patched with version two..but it can explain the USB hussle.
I really don't know it anymore... option 2 works, calibre can read the database,what happened in between.. we would never know, I don't think I can reproduce it anymore... patch number two still stays the most good one..because with one it was at that moment attached to a working USB port like you say my dear Sherlock, but can't be read by calibre.
