Sorry, I have been extremely busy over the holidays. I can confirm
richcomm_usb in its current state (r1706) works.

I could write a little tidbit, it would just be a few sentences
though, there is not a lot to tell. Something like:

The Sweex 1000VA USB UPS offers only the very basic features expected
of a UPS, none of the fancier features normally expected of a USB UPS
device. It reports whether the UPS is on line power or battery power
and whether or not the battery level is 'normal' or 'low'. The UPS can
be told to shut itself down when it is on battery power, in which case
it will power itself back on automatically when power returns. No
detailed battery level readings or any other miscellaneous information
is available.

Best regards,
