Re: Experience with Gamatronic's UPS



Hi,

we got a lot of them at work and already (after less than 6 month) we also
have a lot of them broken down :-(.
However, their service was OK and they replaced them swiftly.

You should know that the 9pin sub-d interface of the cheaper UPSs only gives
a so-called contact-interface. I have the schematics at home if s.b. cares.
I got them without problem from some tech guy at Gamatronics.
