[Nut-upsuser] Trouble Configuring NUT with Gamatronic USB

Interesting. This device is definitely not currently supported.
However, I have seen this type of device before, on a Kebo
UPS-650D. See the posts of Andrew Dancy on the Nut-upsdev mailing
list, September 26-27, 2005.
It is probably not a USB HID device, but some proprietary
serial-over-USB protocol. At the time, Andrew Dancy decided that his
device was too cheap and too outdated to be worth investigating.
You *could* try the patch that I sent on September 27 on nut-upsdev,
and see if you get any mileage out of it. It would only be a first
step towards deciphering this device, though.
