I think my PRS-T1 is recognised as a "pre PRS-T1" in Calibre on Linux?. If the older Sony driver is disabled in Plugins it doesn't connect. The PRS-T1 notes plug in doesn't appear. I see READER and SETTINGS icon appear on the Linux Mint desktop (18.3 and Mate). Calibre seems to copy books to it fine, but calls it "Sony Reader". Disabling the PRS-T1 plugin has no effect, so I'm thinking it's recognised as an earlier ereader?

Settings read when connected:
USB Vendor ID (in hex): 0x54c
USB Product ID (in hex): 0x5c2
USB Revision ID (in hex): 0x226

The Firmware Version 1.0.03.11140

I've downloaded the "latest" firmware, PRS-T1_Updater_1.0.07.05070_a.exe, but how do I apply that via Linux?

Do I have to install the reader software on Win7, or can I use the old PRS-350 "Reader software" on XP?

Is the 1.0.03.11140 too old for Calibre?
