I finally started reading the old thread about this UPS from 2007. Kjell pointed out[1] that Richcomm System Technologies Co. Ltd. makes the USB-to-dry-contact converter that seems to be used here[2]. [1] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2007-May/002081.html [2] http://rstcl7795.en.china.cn/selling-leads/detail,1010408416,.html Excerpt from that page, in case it moves: Product Origin:China Brand Name:Richcomm Description: Product Name: USB Convert Inside Solution for Smart/DryContact UPS Features: 1) Model numbers: (smart) RC-UB-PN100, (dry) RC-UB-PN20 2) Smart UPS: a) Instantly converts RS232 communication into USB communication mode b) Works with PowerManager II software, realizing inquiry to smart UPS status, data and device control under USB communication mode 3) Dry contact UPS: a) Convert dry-contact smart communication function into USB communication mode b) Inquires smart UPS status and shutdown control under USB communication mode with PowerManager Lite software c) With PowerManagerLite: USB judges dry-contact signals: battery voltage low and AC power failed under USB monitoring mode d) With PowerManagerLite: USB can shut down UPS under USB monitoring mode Arjen mentioned that sweex_usb might not be a good name[3], because they keep changing hardware in their devices. [3] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2007-May/002079.html How about richcomm_usb, as suggested by Peter Selinger? [4] It sounds like they make both the converter device and the Windows driver.
