A customer of mine makes software for a number of UPS systems.
Currently this software is cross platform and is not integrated into
Darwin/Mac OS X at all. I was tasked to write an Mac OS X Installer
for them (to avoid the UNIX shell stuff they had on the Mac before).
So far so good.
I have recently become aware of the fact, that Darwin/Mac OS X seems
to have built-in support for UPS systems. But I couldn't find much
information on how to actually integrate a UPS with the OS. The
hardware usually comes with either USB or serial interfaces. The
later would generally be converted using a USB<->Serial adaptor.
If the UPS is USB class-compliant, it's my understanding that no
software support is required; MacOS will DTRT already.
If the software in question is providing support for UPS systems that
are not class-compliant, then you will probably want to talk to DTS
in order to contact the relevant Apple person directly.
