Yeah - saw that, but didn't see any specific changing referencing the 
blazer_usb driver, so haven't tried it yet...

Here's a 6KB rar file of a fresh SniffUSB log file, covering just the 
first minute after plugging-in the UPS to my XP laptop (UPSilon already 
running in Windows System tray).

I've no idea what these 'URB' references are between sections,  but 
around URB 60, I toggled the Beeper and then again around URB 65...

Curiously, the documentation for the Zigor 650 states no Beeper toggle 
ability, but it does work...

Hope that helps - more than happy to carry out further tests and record 
the output, if of any use to you...
