[Nut-upsdev] PowerCom USB units...

[Peter Selinger]

Eric,

we don't really know whether the serial-over-USB mechanism used by
your device is the same as (or at least similar to) that of the
experimantal megatec_usb driver. Please try and let us know. You could
also try replicate some of the experiments done by Jon Gough on
nut-uspuser on Jan 31, using the "get_descriptor" program.

We have looked at Powercom USB models before, without success. See for
example 

* the most recent thread on Nut-upsuser with subject "Nut with
  Powercom iCute ICT-530U (USB)" (January 2007)

* the thread on nut-upsuser with subject "Newpoint 200897 UPS"
  (December 2006).

* the thread on nut-upsuser with subject "Gentoo Ultra USB UPS" in
  July/August 2006 [possibly the same as your device?]
