Gentle bump :)

If there's anyone with a Powercom USB UPS and preferably a non-x86 computer
to build and test a NUT driver on (to confirm the original problem and the
fix), that would be very helpful :)

I don't have one of those UPS, or a big-endian machine handy. Nearly
all current OS run ARM as little-endian, this will really want something
like sparc or powerpc to test on (or some MIPS but not others).

It could also be that the vendor changed something between devices or
firmware versions...
