Hello,
I am not able to get NUT working with a APC SC1500.
The ups has only a serial port and came with a 940-0272a serial to usb cable.
The cable has a fake Prolific chip in it, so only works by downgrading the
driver to version 3.2. I tested a 940-0024C cable without success as well.
The ups works with powerchute and apcupsd with the 940-0272a cable. Have not
tested it with the other one.
OS: Windows Server 2012 R2
NUT-Version: Windows-v2.6.5-6
UPS: APC SC 1500VA
Driver: apcsmart
upsdrvctl.exe start outputs this errors:

I thought about using apcupsd-ups driver, but that one is not included in the
Windows installation of NUT.
What am I missing here?
