Thanks Ted,

  that echoes my thoughts: any HW supported by NUT at some point and with a
population of units physically alive, whether marketed or supported by
original vendors or not, should better be documented.

  So if the old docs are in some way better than new one, even if
explaining quirks not relevant and not documented for same-named models or
firmware sold today, I believe such docs should remain available (maybe
marked as old stuff, but ready for revision). After all, currently shipped
drivers probably correspond to that spec?..

@Dinow: how strict is the business/etc. requirement to make that older info
truly unavailable? Can we keep it visible but maybe marked deprecated?
