Well, they did it again - Tripp Lite changed the product ID while
keeping the model name the same.

You can try using some of the options on the tripplite_usb man page to
force loading the driver, but if it is closer in lineage to the OMNI
LCD models (or whatever they're called), then you might have better
luck with the usbhid-ups driver.

Also, please let us know roughly when this OMNIVS1000 was manufactured
(as well as which driver works, and with what options), so that we can
update the compatibility list.

thanks,
