Hi, we got a lot of them at work and already (after less than 6 month) we also have a lot of them broken down :-(. However, their service was OK and they replaced them swiftly.
You should know that the 9pin sub-d interface of the cheaper UPSs only gives a so-called contact-interface. I have the schematics at home if s.b. cares. I got them without problem from some tech guy at Gamatronics.
