Hello, I owned an ebook reader Sony PRS-T1 which can be connected via USB to a Windows, Mac or UNIX PC to transfer files (epub, PDF, ...) or other purpose. On connect via USB it offers a FAT and a FAT32 file system, which can be mounted in Linux or FreeBSD fine. One seems to be containing firmware (it appears in Windows as K:(SETTINGS)), while the other (F:(READER)) contains the media files. The device itself runs some kind of Linux, perhaps an Android and it is possible to root it (not yet done by me). Sony delivers for free some software for Win and MAC, the so called "Sony Reader for PC", which allows: - import of DRM'ed epub files - use (i.e. human read) the files with an Adobe ID - authorise the T1 against the Adobe servers with your ID - transfer DRM'ed files to the T1 to be read there The software installs fine with wine 1.3.x and it starts fine with: $ wine Reader.exe One can connect fine to the Adobe ID server, import and read DRM'ed epubs. What does not work is that the T1 on the USB devices is not seen. I have mounted the two USB devices as: /dev/da2 on /settings (msdosfs, local, read-only) /dev/da0 on /reader (msdosfs, local) and configured wine (with winecfg) to see the devices as K: and F: which works fine, for example, with the Explorer.exe; but the software Reader.exe does not "see" the T1; it says on start: fixme:win:FlashWindowEx 0x33f228 fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl unsupported ioctl 4d004 err:secur32:SECUR32_initSchannelSP TLS library not found, SSL connections will fail fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0x79f6e0, overlapped 0x100cf2a0): stub fixme:toolhelp:CreateToolhelp32Snapshot Unimplemented: heap list snapshot fixme:toolhelp:Heap32ListFirst : stub fixme:win:RegisterDeviceNotificationA (hwnd=0x700f8, filter=0xb6ed48,flags=0x00000000) returns a fake device notification handle! fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"C:\\", 0x8628a8, 4), stub! fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"C:\\", 0x8628a8, 4), stub! fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"F:\\", 0x8628a8, 4), stub! fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"F:\\", 0x8628a8, 4), stub! fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"H:\\", 0x8628a8, 4), stub! fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"H:\\", 0x8628a8, 4), stub! fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"K:\\", 0x8628a8, 4), stub! fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl unsupported ioctl 4d004 fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"K:\\", 0x8628a8, 4), stub! fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl unsupported ioctl 4d004 fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"K:\\", 0x8628a8, 4), stub! fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl unsupported ioctl 4d004 fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"K:\\", 0x8628a8, 4), stub! fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl unsupported ioctl 4d004 fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"Z:\\", 0x8628a8, 4), stub! fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW (L"Z:\\", 0x8628a8, 4), stub! fixme:win:FlashWindowEx 0x33d450 and in the GUI it says that the reader T1 is not connected. How I could nail down, what it is missing?
