ok, thanks for these info.
I've updated the driver.list entry to mention blazer_ser too
note that, according to your attached file, Arjen will probably be
interested in a debug output.
ie
/path/to/blazer_ser -DDDDD -a inform
this will help in fixing the empty ups.{mfr,model} and some more.
cheers,
Arnaud
