[Nut-upsuser] Cannot access Patriot Pro II from new system

[Olav Seyfarth]

Hi Charles,

thank you VERY MUCH for all your hints.

> If you have a jumper wire handy, you can connect the PC's TxD to RxD
I should have tried to connect from another computer in the first place.
Or access another device known to work from this computer. It turned out
that the shield I used to connect the mainboard connector to the PC case
expected another mainboard pin layout. So all I had to do is to
re-arrange the wires... See attached log.

> open an issue on the DDL repository, and include the output of "upsc",
> "upsrw", and "upscmd -l"
Done: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut-ddl/issues/4

Please email me if I should provide/add anything else.
