I have the windows driver sources for the device, it does _not_ write
anything to the EEPROM under any circumstance.

moreover the EEPROM is write protected in hardware by a jumper. So no
application can write to it, AFAICS

I am not very sure about that.

really i am thinking this way .. On booting up windows, it could have
changed some BIOS stuff (written something to NVRAM or something like
that ?).. that's the only possibility that i can see here.

really lost on this one.
