UPS Power Manager

Using the UPS power manager =========================== The following files need to be present in order that the application works forups.exe forups.msg <something>.dll picures\<something>.bmp Supported UPS devices ===================== The dummy.dll driver currently supports no UPS devices at all. It is provided to give you an idea of what is supposed to happen, and to encourage you to have a go at your own UPS driver. The megatec.dll driver currently supports megatec compatible UPS devices only. These include:- - Fenton Technologies models: - PowerPal L series - PowerOn - PowerPure - Effekta MI/MT/MH models (2502 cable) - PowerGuard PG-600 - PowerCom SMK-800A, ULT-1000 - Giant Power MT650 - UNITEK ALPHA 500 IC - Unitek Alpha 1000is - SuperPower HP360, Hope-550 This driver implements the Megatec protocol, so other Megatec hardware will probably work with it.
