Mine even says v1 on the type sticker:-( but it's black as well. So I'll 
see how things behave once I loose the UPS connection and do a `hub-ctrl 
power off->on'. I'm not really interested in the power off, just in the 
reset;-)

If that does not work, I'll probably try a Arduino-based power-switch 
cable. Since it now looks like it's really the UPS, I can actually think 
about different ways.
