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?
The ids you have are what the driver for the PRS-T1 is looking for. The names you are seeing are common to both the PRS-T1 and the older Sony devices. If you open the driver configuration when the device is connected, the titlebar should show you which it is.

The other thing to do is to disable both Sony drivers and run the "Debug device detection" which is on the miscellaneous page of the preference. That should show what is happening.

As to the notes plugin, it hasn't been updated since 2012. It almost definitely won't work with current a calibre. And it probably stopped working with calibre v2. If you run calibre in debug mode, you will probably see errors when calibre attempts to load it.
