Elonex 511EB now supported?
0.6.3 says that it's supported but won't find it. I tried 0.6.4 as well.

Are you saying your EB511 is not detected?

The elonex 511EB driver is only for osx/linux
it has buggy formware which means a driver for windows cannpt be written. |

I'm happy to contact support, but is there something concrete I can tell them other than that the firmware's buggy?
I really like Calibre and although I can use Windows Explorer to drag the files over it would be great if the Elonex registered the way my Cybook does. Graham |

Tell them that their device is not reporting its vendor and product to windows as evidenced by the string
Code:
\\\\?\\STORAGE#VOLUME#_??_USBSTOR#DISK&VEN_&PROD _&RE Code:
\\\\?\\STORAGE#VOLUME#_??_USBSTOR#DISK&VEN_BOOKEEN&PROD_CYBOOK&RE |

This is apparently a Hanvon N520. It looks like the Hanvon N516 is detectable, but the wiki suggests that the N520 is running WinCE (vs Linux on the N516). So perhaps Hanvon does not realize that it is not reporting properly.

well it should be a simple firmware update, so hopefully it will be released sometime this century

Thanks Kovid. I've sent an email to Elonex support. Let's see what happens.
