I read about that.
Unfortunately, I do belive it is necessary.
The megatec protocol is used, but with some modifications of some
commands.
As there is absolutely no way of asking the UPS about manufacturer or
model data, adding these models to the generic megatec driver would result
in introducing special cases just for these models.

I think, this is rather a nuissance.

thanks.

will do that, as soon as the code is ready for prime time.
I have to cleanup one or two sscanf calls first.
