Arjen,

I have been using usb APC units (CS 500 and SmartUPS 1000) with nut for some 6 
years. I got this to work after extensive trawling of the net and found a fix 
involving changing the source and recompiling usbhid-ups (or hidups as it used 
to be).

Now the bad news. Although I am still using the recompiled version of hidups and 
(64 bit) usbhid-ups, I have stupidly lost the source and my notes. :-(  Is it 
any use to you to have the executables?

This has been driving me nuts for the last week, as I now have another CS 500 to 
install, and only a 5 year old version of hidups to do it with!

Regards,
Kevin.
