As suggested to me by off-list mail, I've also tried
UPSCABLE usb
(instead of "smart") - unfortunately, that did not make any difference.
After starting apcupsd, everything seems fine for a minute or two, then
the UPS starts detaching from and attaching to the USB every 10-15s.
Still not certain whether it's the UPS, the PC or the software but
that's why I'm looking for ideas towards debugging this...
Cheerio,
Thomas
