guys,

just quickly passing by, I have a small comment...
remember that I've not really read the thread!

as you may know, Powerware (now part of Eaton) has made and is still
making OEM devices for big names.
quickly looking at pwmib.h, it seems that the cpqmib (standing for
Compaq I assume, which is not obvious looking at the .h file nor the
driver.list!) is the same. possibly with some variation though.

cheers,
Arnaud
