Hi Jonathan
I did find in the trunk/drivers directory a powercom.c/.h and see it is
all serial based
could this not be adapted to USB as well ??
Yes, there is a driver for serial powercom UPS.
Halas, serial and USB don't use the same protocol at all. You could of
course make a new driver, but nothing tell you that USB PowerCom work
the same way than serial PowerCom. I don't see how you could use the
serial driver as a base for the USB driver.
Moreover, I think that make a subdriver for newhidups is the easiest
way to support your UPS. It is an USB UPS, so in order to make a
driver, you need at least to have the main parts of the HID usage
table.
With this HID usage table, nearly 50%, or even 60% of the work is done
for a subdriver of newhidups.
Thanks
Barry
