Hi there,
I just got my PRS-700 today. Unfortunately calibre 0.5.14 doesn't recognize it.
Maybe important: This is a Windows 2000 box (which I know calibre doesn't officially support; I was just hoping it might work anyway).
What happens when I plug in the reader:
A USB mass storage device is added to the system, providing 3 drives. I can browse the first one with Explorer - that seems to be the PRS's internal memory; the others are obviously the two card slots (no cards in there for now).
When starting calibre-debug -d i get the following output:
Code:
D:\Program Files\calibre>calibre-debug.exe -d

What surprises me a bit is the 'No mount points found' on the 3 drives - at the same time they're visible in Explorer as drives F:, G: and I:.
Any ideas what I could try next? Or will it simply not work on Win2K?
Thanks in advance!
