Maybe it's just because it's 4am, or because I skipped too much of the
previous posts, but I'm not getting...

The "megatec" driver already does it. If we're talking about a simple layer
to communicate with the UPS over USB instead of serial (something that has
been talked about), then it's just that, a simple layer under the unmodified
megatec driver. Or are we talking about more than just a simple
encapsulation of the megatec protocol, something like a mix of megatec
strings and USB specific stuff?

I went back a few posts, but since I haven't had much time to read
everything thoroughly, I'm starting to get confused with all this (and
starting to think that there isn't much hope of concentrating all things
megatec under a single driver).
