Chloride Power (Oneac parent company) has a Linux versions of MopUPS available as well. These are what I was using along w/ 30 day trial licenses. The packages are RPMs, but I used alien to convert them into formats that suite me. I used a serial (RS232) to USB converter cable (Oneac part number CK-7USBU) to communicate with the UPS because I didn't have any free serial ports. It has a Prolific PS-2303 chip inside it and works wonderfully under Linux. > Mopups has a terminal session you can actually communicate to > the UPS. > Since I have a V96 at home I can pretty much keep Windows > MopUPS and Linux connected to the unit anytime as necessary. > I do remember just running through the ascii character set > and seeing what responses I got back with regard to the > MopUPS display. Interesting. I guess I never got that far with MopUPS. Are the responses also raw ascii? I didn't have time to figure out how all the raw ascii responses I was getting related to the UPS and exactly how much of the old protocol was still supported/accurate. > I'd be happy to lend my UPS and time to get this driver in > good shape. > We have ON900, ON900 Extended Run-time, ON1300, ON2000 V96, > ON2000 V92. > I have more access (put perhaps not share time) to a ON1100 > Rackmount with extended battery. Do your ON900 report themselves as 'ON' family? If so, you can test out the new driver with them as well to make sure I didn't break anything. > I'll have to see if I can get a checkout and compile the new > driver to see how it responds.

I met with a few of the higher ups in their R&D organization to discuss it a little over a year ago. They didn't seem to interested unless the company I work for were to partner with them exclusively and sign a NDA. They were even less interested when I mentioned using the information in relation to the NUT project. > William _______________________________________________ Nut-upsdev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsdev
