For the blazer_usb driver, -DDD (debug level 3) is enough. Unless you  
also want to debug the communication on the driver socket (for upsd),  
running a driver with debug level 5 (-DDDDD) is usually a bad idea.

At the very least, we'll need the USB ID of this device. Back in 2007,  
this model used the 0665:5161 (Cypress Semiconductor) USB to serial  
converter. If this is still used today, you should be fine running the  
blazer_usb driver. Be sure to read 'man 8 blazer' before asking for  
help.

The megatec_usb driver is a legacy driver that is not being actively  
maintained. We won't accept patches for megatec_usb at this time. Your  
modification also breaks the driver for USB to serial converters that  
require reading until a timeout occurs.

Best regards, Arjen
