Nut upsuser - Oct 2005 - Maxxtro ups

Hello all,
I bought a (very) cheap maxxtro 600VA line interactive ups and i was trying to 
make it work with nut. Since I thought it was a simple contact closure ups, I 
tried all genericups drivers but none worked.

Some more information about the ups: I connect it with a usb cable (but it 
also has a serial port) which is seen as a usb to serial converter:

USB HID v1.00 Gamepad [Cypress Semiconductor USB to Serial] on 
usb-0000:00:02.0-2

and can be accessed on /dev/ttyS1

It cames with WinPower software (which i tried on a windows machine) and it 
can display ups status, battery charge and load connected, so it should not 
be a simple contact closure ups.
Now the question is: is there a way to find out which driver should I use? Or 
should I simply try them all untill i find the right one?

Many thanks,
Flavio

If it is available through /dev/ttyS1, try using the "powermust"
driver. If it doesn't work, try using the serial port and try again
with the same driver.
