Here's an excerpt from my conversation with Jacob Schmier on the Oneac
model numbers:

"The model numbers you listed (ON700, ON1000, ON1500, ON2000) comprise the
Universal-Mount ON Series family (circa 2005).  Each model number actually
has two corresponding serial numbers (i.e. ON700 => ON700XAU & ON700XIU).
The serial numbers with an 'A' are 60Hz, and those with an 'I'
are 50/60Hz
according to
http://www.oneac.com/download/files/917183C3%20Universal%20Mount%20UP.pdf.

...

All of these UPS models use the Oneac "advanced interface" to
communicate
with the oneac NUT driver.  Given that each model number can have several
serial numbers, it would probably make more sense to list only the model
number in the driver.list file and not the actual serial number.  I'm not
sure how this is usually handled."

So we should probably either have both the *XAU and *XIU variants in
drivers.list to catch all variants that people might search for (and
maybe include the un-suffixed variant as well), or just leave the
un-suffixed model numbers in the list (as it was before this commit).

thanks. I was emptying my @mgeups stack, and flushing some retained
patches, before the final switch (give back this laptop and abandon
Lotus Notes), and wasn't able to find where this entries came from.

can I let you update the driver.list file (both Testing and trunk)?

thanks,
