Tokarev replyed when Alexey Sidorov wrote the "enhanced" features of the powercom driver, and supposing is the same Michael Tokarev of the upsd, why didn't he completed the powercom driver? I see that from time to time, someone asks on the list to improve or add features to the driver (a few years ago "Dan Mahoney, System Admin" offered a network for development), but looks like there is not movement. Now that powercom is offering help, can't be the driver completed? Also, the source of the powercom and powercom HID should share some code regarding battery, times and loads calculations, am I right? Finally, looking at the powercom driver source, it as toooooooo muuuuuuuch black magic for my taste. IMHO it should go a mayor rewrite. After all this crap, my final question is this: As I do not want to offend anyone... Is anyone working on all this? If nobody is working on it, can I rewrite the powercom driver to adapt it to the information that is available right now (and hope to get the missing info from powercom)? Is "Dan Mahoney, System Admin" still on the list and still having problems to solve? Is Michael Tokarev still on the list and willing to share where did he find all the info he has about the powercom protocol and models? Are Alexey Sidorov, Simon Rozman or Peter Bieringer still on the list and would them be offended if I rewrite the driver? Anyone has anything to say? ---- Thank you for your time, and sorry about the annoyance of posting three times! Pedro
