<div dir="auto"><div>Thanks Ted,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> that echoes my thoughts: any HW supported by NUT at some point and with a population of units physically alive, whether marketed or supported by original vendors or not, should better be documented.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> So if the old docs are in some way better than new one, even if explaining quirks not relevant and not documented for same-named models or firmware sold today, I believe such docs should remain available (maybe marked as old stuff, but ready for revision). After all, currently shipped drivers probably correspond to that spec?..</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">@Dinow: how strict is the business/etc. requirement to make that older info truly unavailable?

<p>Thanks, Dinow,</p>

<p>I'm not a NUT admin but you posted this to a public mailing list
so I'm going to just send a response to that list since it's a
public posting.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The current documentation you sent is much sparser than the older
docs. So I think the older docs are going to still be valuable
for just that reason alone, as an addition to the newer current
documentation. I do not know what the admins are going to do but
I would hope they merely mark the old documents as "Old" and add
this to them.<br>

<p>Unlike commercial software, open source software projects usually
do not have the luxury of removing support for older hardware that
is no longer in production from the manufacturer.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As a NUT user I cannot thank you enough for supporting open
source software projects like NUT.</p>
