I believe that restriction only applies to MGE hardware. If you are
using libhid 0.10a, you should not have any problems.

I'll have to go back and check which version introduced support for
non-MGE HID UPSes.

Isn't there a Fedora Legacy project that is backporting some packages
to RH9 as well?

Right. The RPMs split the original libusb package into "libusb",
"libusb-devel", and possibly "libusb-debug". But if you do a "make
install" from the original source package, you will get everything you
need to compile and run.
